The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Sauvignon Blanc is the favourite grape variety of my mother. So, we did a small tasting to explore the different aspects. With the seven wines we tried, I tried to show where Sauvignon Blanc comes from, what the most famous expressions are and what unusual bottlings can be found. All in all, it was a […]
It took me more than a month to find the time to write about the latest tasting by our wine regular’s table. We chose the topic of German sparkling wines and of course I mixed in a little surprise.
Just before the Christmas season starts, is the ideal time to discover some new champagne. Paired with the fact that our last champagne tasting was two years ago, I gathered some friends and we tried nine different bottles.
Nowadays, a lot of countries produce excellent whisky. Australia is no exception to this. So, I was very excited to try the Starward Line-Up in a blind tasting organised by Kirsch-Whisky. All in all, the whiskies did not at all disappoint!

Like the Bourbon Blind Tasting in 2016, I decided to repeat the procedure in 2017 with a Rye Blind Tasting. The tasting was comprised of seven different rye whiskies and they were first sampled on their own and in a cocktail afterwards. Of course, we settled for the famous Manhattan cocktail – it maybe is […]
