Before, during and after our dinner provided by Simone Kraemer at their vineyard restaurant, we did a tasting of Stephan’s wines. So, here is a short overview of what we tried.

Vineyard Visit – Oekologischer Land- und Weinbau Kraemer – Part I
For a quick trip in our region we chose to visit Stephan and Simone Kraemer in Auerhofen. We came of course because of Stephan’s wine and Simone’s cooking, but in the end we left deeply touched by their hospitality! On top of that, our son already misses their dog, their cats and of course all […]
Silvaner Sundays – Kraemer Silvaner 2017
Since we are staying at the Kraemer’s holiday flat for a few days next week, I thought I will do a special edition of Silvaner Sundays. Somewhere on the internet I found a few bottles of the 2017 vintage of Stephan’s Silvaner.
Unbottled – Marcus Hees Insel Weissburgunder
The Nahe is another rather underrated wine region, apart from a few big names, not a lot of vineyards are known. Yet, the Insel Weissburgunder I am presenting to you today is actually not the first bottle I had from this wine maker. We already enjoyed Marcus Hees’ Blanc de Noir sparkling wine a few […]
Unbottled – Julien Renard Riesling
Yet, this is not your regular Moselle Riesling. Instead it comes from shooting star Julien Renard. Julien has a lot of small plots ammounting to a total of 1,2 ha. This also means that it is quite hard to get. Luckily, I found a bottle. If you are interested in more about Julien you can […]
Silvaner Sundays – Ehrlenbach Silvaner
For the first article in this new series I chose a slightly unconventional wine region for Silvaner. This one comes from the Taubertal, but from the part that belongs to Baden. I will get into that later, but Florian and Philipp Ehrlenbach’s wines won me over completely. Let me tell you the Silvaner is no […]
Unbottled – Hainbusch Riesling Thal
This article includes a lot of ‘firsts’: The first Riesling in this series. It is also the first time I tried a wine from the Mittelrhine region and the first vintage of the Hainbusch vineyard.
A Wild Orange Wine Tasting
For this wine regular’s table, I chose different orange wines. To be fair, there only eight were orange wines and the first one was a Pet Nat. Yet, it was very interesting to see the different effects skin contact can have on white wines.
Unbottled – Griesel & Compagnie Grand Cuvée
The series lost a bit momentum, but now I am back at it. On top of that, I changed the focus a bit more towards natural wines. The next region in this little series is the Hessian Bergstrasse. There was really only one option here, to go with the Griesel Grand Cuvée. After all, this […]
Unbottled – Landbau Kraemer 3* Solera Silvaner
On with our series on German wine regions! In this article, we take a closer look at a wine from Franconia – my home-winegrowing region. In this case, I went with a “wild” choice of wine, but believe me this bottle is worth every penny.
