Tonight we have a double-header review, with two different rieslings from Dr. Pauly-Bergweiler. These two fall slightly above our typical price limit, but it’s always interesting to see how more pricey wines compare to the bargains we typically review. And with a little hunting, you may find these wines for under $20. The Dr. Pauly-Bergweiler family […]

With terms like spatlese, kabinett, auslese, trocken, halbtrocken, combinations of those terms and more, there is a definite learning curve to understanding German riesling — or German wines in general. And those terms all represent different styles of riesling. Being “into riesling” isn’t as easy as being “into cabernet sauvignon” where you can pretty much […]

Hello again. It’s been over a week since we’ve had a chance to update, thanks to a little bit of travel. But we’re still focused on riesling. And yes, that is a reason to celebrate. While we’ve reviewed a number of different rieslings in the past few weeks, and a number of German rieslings in […]

I have an idea. How about another riesling review? This one from the impossible-for-any-American-to-spell-correctly Schloss Reinhartshausen winery in Rheingau, Germany. Those who’ve been reading our other recent riesling reviews will know that Rheingau is the region along the River Rhine. The nose is pretty nice, with rose petal, peach and pear aromas. The palate is off-dry […]

Every now and then we receive samples of wine that sell for more than our typical $20 maximum limit and while we like to stay true to our mission (i.e. cheap wine ratings) we’re not foolish. We’re still going to taste those wines. After all, if we never taste a $50 wine how can we […]

Do you know Nahe? Nahe is a wine region in Germany along the… you guessed it, River Nahe. If you don’t know this river, it’s a relatively small river that is a tributary to the Rhine (a relatively big river). The Nahe is east of Luxembourg, if that helps give you a sense of location. […]

Dr Hermann – H Riesling

Compared to other European wine brands Dr. Hermann is relatively young, with the estate being established in 1967. Although similar to the stories of many European winemakers, the history of winemaking in the Hermann family goes back hundreds of years. The Dr. Hermann estate is run by Rudi Hermann and his son Christian. The vineyards […]

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 […]

Selbach Kabinett Riesling

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 […]

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 […]
