Typically, I work a little bit ahead on my wine reviews. I’ll photograph a wine, taste it and take my notes and then a couple weeks later it will get published to the website. But sometimes I taste a wine that I’m so excited about that I just can’t wait to get the review published. […]

Good news for those of you who are ready for a change, we’re moving on from riesling tonight and reviewing a sauvignon blanc. New Zealand has a great reputation for creating exciting sauvignon blanc, full of tropical fruit flavors and vibrant acidity. And Marlborough, where this wine is from, has a particularly strong reputation. The […]

Riesling, riesling, more riesling. We’ve been doing so many riesling reviews lately that we’re at risk of needing to rename the website to Cheap Riesling Reviews. And here’s yet another one… but wait, there’s something different about this riesling. Yep, this one comes from Chile—a different country in a different continent versus the other riesling […]

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 […]

G.H. von Mumm 50° Riesling Trocken

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 […]

Schloss Reinhartshausen Old Vines Riesling

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 […]
