The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
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.
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 […]
