Unbottled – Pranzegg Caroline
Our visit to South Tyrol really spiked my interest in the natural wine scene there. One of the vineyards, if not the most renown natural wine vineyard there is Pranzegg. In this case, I tried their Caroline bottling

Unbottled – Riehen Le Petite Sauvignon Blanc
To be honest, this was the first Swiss wine I tried. Yet, it is an excellent starting point. We had this at Christmas with Raclette and it was a perfect match.
Tropical Month – Pirate’s Penicillin
My good friend Sepo over at the Galumbi blog came up with this drink in 2019. Yes, it took me quite a while to reshake this cocktail. However, when I am not the only one with an obscure ingredient, I just have to do it eventually.
Dry January – La Llorona
I really did managed to come up with a non-alcoholic recipe without using caffein for a change. All in all, the different components all have an Arabic touch and just fell into place. It all started with sumac syrup.
Blue Ridge Mountains – Reisetbauer Holunder
Actually, I wanted to publish this post in New Year’s Eve. However, I only managed to finish it a day late, but I promise from tomorrow on it will only be Dry January content! Until now, I never had an elderberry eau de vie. Yet, I was too intrigued not to try it. Once again, […]
Old Team – Compass Box Crimson Cask
In fact, I wasn’t a big fan of the old sherry forward bottling ‘Story of the Spaniard’. Of course, it was not bad, but something was missing from it to make it special. Yet, the new Crimson Cask makes totally up for it! On top of that, I decided to mix a Black Manhattan variation […]
North Star – Compass Box Nectarosity
I guess it is no secret that I love Compass Box. Now, this is my review of their new Nectarosity whisky. On top of that, I created a somehow White Scotch Boulevardier version with it. As it turns out, the best garnish for it was in fact an olive!
Unbottled – Zehnthof Luckert Weissburgunder
Up until now, I enjoyed every wine I tried from Zehnthof Luckert very much. This also was the case with this ‘Erste Lage’ pinot blanc. Apart from being organically cultivated the grapes also come from an old style vineyard.
Golden Sky – Gin Eva L’Horabaixa
Ever since our visit to Casa Eva in Mallorca this year, I was thinking about their newest gin the L’Horabaixa. It was one of the few new gins that was able to impress me. So, I am very happy that Stefan send me a bottle and I could try the recipe I pitched to him […]
Another (Dry) Champagne Tasting
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.
