This is one of those moments in life when I find myself rather busy and I’m at risk of neglecting this website.  But, of course, I don’t want to do that.  So tonight I’m just going to give you a quickie review of another riesling. This one is a Kabinett riesling from Geil in the Rheinhessen […]

Recently, I’ve lauded Germany as a great region for riesling.  I’m sure I’ve also sung praises for Austria, Alsace and Washington state in the past.  But I don’t ever think I’ve brought up Australia as a region for riesling.  I don’t have anything against Australia.  It’s just not the first region that comes to mind […]

In my last riesling review for Louis Riesling I mentioned how seeking rieslings from Germany would increase the likelihood that the riesling you buy is good.  Well, within German wines Mosel is a region you’ll see often.  It’s the third largest region in the country, but seems to be the most prominent region internationally.  It’s […]

It amazes me how many times I’ve heard people say “I don’t like riesling” because whenever I hear that, I think “you haven’t tried the right riesling.”  This is truly a misunderstood wine and one where you can find as many bad ones as good ones.  And so, I can understand why it has a […]

When I first started this website a lot of people commented that I must love Trader Joe’s because of all the bargains they have on wine.  And as much as I wanted to love Trader Joe’s, I just never became a big fan.  Most of the wines I tasted from them were nothing special, albeit […]

When you look at the picture on the label of a bottle of Tesch wine it may conjure up images in your mind of an old German winemaker continuing the traditions from previous generations of winemakers.  But that impression would be far from the reality. The man pictured on these labels is the great grandfather […]

Tonight we’re continuing our look at riesling, and heading back to Germany.  This one from Weingut Josef Leitz is from the Rheingau region of Germany.  Rheingau basically translates to mean “Rhine region” and this region is situated along the banks of the Rhine river.  Riesling is also the dominant grape here, accounting for nearly 80% […]

Pacific Rim Dry Riesling Review

I’ve commented before on how riesling gets a bad rap in the US, particularly domestic riesling.  I’ve also commented that it’s often a misunderstood wine in the US.  Consumers might taste an overly-sweet, poorly made domestic riesling and they slander the varietal as a whole.  This is unfortunate, but I think the tide is turning […]

Last week we reviewed a nice — and very affordable — German riesling from the Rheinhessen region, Fritz’s Riesling.  And tonight we’re checking out another riesling from the Rheinhessen region. The Weingut Groebe estate was established way back in 1625, so these folks have been making riesling for more than a few years.  You might notice […]

One of the things that bums me out about the US wine scene (for lack of a better term) is how so many people dislike riesling — or at least think they dislike it.  But it’s really a wine that’s not well understood by many people, particularly in the US.  I too have been guilty […]
