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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Do you know when Sauvignon Blanc Day is? Well, it’s not today. It actually happened a week ago, on June 21. I was planning on reviewing a sauvignon blanc on that day, but some last minute travel threw off my publishing schedule. But since I’m back, why not celebrate Sauvignon Blanc Day today? After all, […]

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 […]

Cremant is a name given to French sparkling wines that don’t come from Champagne. And that’s what this wine is, a Cremant d’Alsace (from Alsace). Not only am I a fan of cremant, because you can often find much better values in cremant than Champagne, but I’m also a big fan of Alsacian wines. Alsace is […]
