The Mosel region in Germany is the source of some of my favorite riesling. Why? Because it tends to be vibrant and lively, complex and balanced. Some Mosel rieslings are dry and some are sweet, this one is on the drier side but it still has lots of life to the fruit. Let’s get right […]

Salwey Pinot Gris – Simply Fabulous
The longer I run this website, the more I find that the wines that interest me the most are the ones nobody reads about.
