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 […]
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 […]
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.
Rainbow Valley – A Low ABV Refresher
Here is another drink to reminisce on summer! A lower ABV highball which serves as a perfect refresher for the hotter days, or as an excellent Aperitif. I just wanted to play around with the flavours here and use rosemary as a garnish.
In Evening Air – Hell or High Water Rum
To be honest, I am not a big fan of spiced or flavoured rum. Still, I am reviewing a bottle for you and came up with a great cocktail using it. On top of that, this honey and orange flavoured rum based spirit has quite the background story.
Gold to Glass – Windspiel Van Volxem Gin
I know that there are other gins out there using wine as an ingredient. Moreover, there are also gins out there which cooperate with famous vineyards. Nevertheless, I was very excited to try the new Windspiel Gin. They are extending their line of cooperation and are now working with renown vineyard Van Volxem. So, in […]
Virtues – Quarantini Social Virgin
Well, if you come up with a gin recipe in record-time what is the next consequent step? Yes, exactly a non-alcoholic beverage which can be used like a regular spirit. This is why the guys (and girls) behind the Quarantini Social Dry Gin released the Virgin as their new product. Let us see how the […]
Tricky Devil – Fortaleza Blanco
There are a lot of tequilas out there. However, excellent ones are a bit harder to find. So, I am very happy to present to you a tequila which fame precedes him. So I thought I combine the highly rated Fortaleza Blanco with another great spirit the Lantenhammer Rote Williams eau de vie. On top […]
