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.
Silvaner Sundays – Rietsch Sylvaner
I first heard about the Rietsch Sylvaner Vieilles Vignes through Silvanerfest and their profile on Stephan Kraemer. They wrote that this wine was a great influence on him. So, I had to try it, too.
Unbottled – Rosé Tasting
I know mid-September might be a bit late for a rosé wine tasting. However, this category has so much more to offer than just a simple summer sipper on a terrace. In fact, the tasting focused on ‘serious’ rosés. Yet, we also had some unusual ones.
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 – French Red Tasting
The latest tasting at our wine regular’s table was on French red wines. I tried to include the most famous regions. On top of that, we also comparted two wines each which had something in common. We started with a Beaujolais / Maconnais comparison, tried a wine from the Northern and one from the Southern […]
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.
Unbottled – Sauvignon Blanc Tasting
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 […]
