The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
We arrived at the Saale-Unstruth region. This is only one of two Eastern German wine regions – we will get to the second one in the next article. To be honest, there was actually no question on whether to present a wine from Konni & Evi homepage. Simply put they are the only high quality, […]
If you spend enough time focusing on wine, and especially champagne, it is easy to get a little carried away. Add enthusiastic wine fans to the mix and you get a unique champagne tasting experience. What started out as a tasting of a few top cuvées got slightly out of hand. In the end, we […]
I already featured the Chairman’s Reserve Master’s Selection Coffee Still version in March 2026. Now, I also had the chance to review the John Dore Pot Still bottling. Yes, I mixed a cocktail with it, too.

The Vallein Tercinier V.S.O.P cognac has recently been given a new design. Fortunately, Kirsch Whisky was kind enough to send me a bottle to sample. I opted for a Cognac Summit variation, which turned out to be the perfect choice for such hot days.
I discovered that I really do enjoy riesling wines from Maximin Gruenhaus a few years back. So, I went for a bottle of Abtsberg Kabinett. When it comes to the (sub-)region Ruwer itself, it gets a bit complicated.
