The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
Yes, I do enjoy pinot noir, but my favourite red variety is Blaufraenkisch. The reason for that is that I have a very personal connection to the variety, the Burgenland and the Heinrich vineyard in particular. I remember playing with leftover wine labels as a child.
I thought I revive the Silvaner Sundays category since I am done with the German wine regions and before starting with the Austrian ones next year. In this case, I opened a bottle from Stefan Vetter who is famous for his very distinctive style.
The alphabetical last German wine region in this series is Wuerttemberg which stretches from a part of the Taubertal to the Lake Constance. I chose the typical red grape variety Lemberger which is known as Blaufraenkisch in Austria.
Saxony is another underrated wine region. Fortunately, Jens from Weinkombinat Hugel stocks a range of excellent wines from the area. I chose the Chardonnay from Schuh because it comes from a monopole vineyard.
We arrived at the Saale-Unstruth region. This is only one of two Eastern German wine regions – we will get to the second one in the next article. To be honest, there was actually no question on whether to present a wine from Konni & Evi homepage. Simply put they are the only high quality, […]
The Saar (sub-)region is very close to my heart. I already visited the area twice. This is why I also had to include it in my series on German wine regions.

I discovered that I really do enjoy riesling wines from Maximin Gruenhaus a few years back. So, I went for a bottle of Abtsberg Kabinett. When it comes to the (sub-)region Ruwer itself, it gets a bit complicated.
Great wine does not have to be expensive. Nevertheless, a high-quality wine must come with a price tag. In this case, I organised a summer wine tasting event for a customer, showcasing wines that offered great value for money.
I’ve simply titled this edition of our regular tasting ‘Blanc de Blancs’. This topic was on my list for ages and while I do tend towards red grapes, especially when it comes to sparkling wine, you do have to appreciate what great chardonnay brings to the table. However, who says that we only tried this […]
As we could not include this bottle of champagne in our natural wine tasting in March, I opened it as an aperitif at Easter. Suffice to say, the bottle did not disappoint.
