We’ve been checking out a lot of riesling lately, so let’s continue that trend with another one from the Mosel region in Germany. This wine is part of the Bronco Wine Company portfolio, which is probably best known as the producer or “Two Buck Chuck” but is also the company behind 50+ other bargain wine […]

It’s another hot summer day, so it’s perfect weather for another riesling review.  Like the Geil riesling we reviewed yesterday, this one from Selbach is also a Kabinett style.  However, this one comes from the Mosel region. Riesling accounts for about 60% of the grapes grown in the Mosel region.  It’s an area that I […]

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 […]

Perhaps it’s just my yearning to be unique, but I really enjoy checking out wines that are atypical.  Let’s face it, it’s fun.  And it’s a great way to learn about different wines, as well as different regions.  After all, what’s atypical in a Cincinnati supermarket may be an everyday occurrence elsewhere, like Germany. And […]

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% […]

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 […]
