Send us a textGerman Riesling demystifies the often confusing terminologies found on labels by breaking down quality classifications based on ripeness levels at harvest and their relationship to final sweetness. We unpack the intricate world of German wine labels to help you navigate these complex yet incredibly rewarding wines.• German quality wine is ranked based on grape sugar levels at harvest, not final sweetness• Kabinett (11.5% potential alcohol) features citrus, green apple, and high acidity• Spätlese (13% potential alcohol) shows more ripeness with red apple and apricot notes• Auslese (14% potential alcohol) often includes some botrytis influence with marmalade character• Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese represent noble rot-affected and dried botrytis grapes• Eiswein (ice wine) offers concentrated sweetness without botrytis, yielding just 50 liters per ton• Alcohol level on the label indicates residual sugar – lower alcohol means more sweetness• VDP eagle symbol on bottles indicates membership in an elite producer group• Vineyard designations like "Grosses Gewächs" represent single-vineyard, high-quality wines• Wines with residual sugar provide perfect balance to high natural acidity• German Rieslings can age beautifully, developing complexity while maintaining freshnessNext week: Is Nebbiolo the next Sangiovese? We explore whether this Italian variety is becoming Australia's next big alternative grape variety. Follow us on instagram @winewithmegandmel

Global warming has positively impacted grape ripening in the Mosel region. The terroir, especially slate soil, significantly influences wine character. Old-fashioned winemaking techniques can yield exceptional wines. Quality determination in Riesling involves sugar ripeness and acidity levels. Different picking times can create vastly different wine profiles. Riesling is a favorite among winemakers for its versatility. High acidity in Riesling balances sweetness, making it unique. Memorable wines often have a personal connection to the winemaker. The Mosel region's microclimates contribute to the complexity of its wines.

I start by asking for a big favor!! I haven't asked in about 10 years – but if you get a moment, could you drop a positive review for WFNP on iTunes, or a good rating on Spotify, or tell a friend who you think would like the show? Thank you in advance! This show is part of the effort to refresh the WFNP catalog, based on the ideas of Patron Chris C, who did a ton of work to help me come up with a list of things he thought I could re-do, given that it's been 14 years since I covered some of this stuff. If you have any ideas, please drop a DM on Patreon or send me ideas through the site! This show has my recommendations for filling a case of wine with classics from around the world. These wines will give you a great idea of what these regions represent and why they are so famed. Even for experienced wine drinkers, I think it's good to go back to the basics and try stuff you haven't had in a while to remind ourselves why they are so good! The list contains 12 still wines (no sparkling or fortified this time!), whites, reds, and one rosé. The wines are: Whites: White Burgundy, which is Chardonnay. I recommend the wine especially from the Hautes Côtes de Beaune or Hautes Côtes de Nuits, Côte d'Or Blanc, or Chablis 2. New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc – with a twist. Look for wines from the Awatere or Wairau Valleys. 3. German Riesling from the Mosel (for off-dry wines) or Rheingau. I also mention Pfalz for great dry wines. 4. Portuguese Alvarinho – Vinho Verde, specifically from sub-regions of Monção and Melgaço Rosé 5. Tavel from the Rhône Reds 6. Bordeaux – especially from the Médoc or Côtes de Bordeaux for Merlot-driven wines (Pomerol and St. Émilion) and for bolder, more ageworthy wines with more Cabernet -- Haut-Médoc or Saint-Estèphe or for spendier versions – Graves, Margaux, Saint Julien, Pauillac 7. Rioja from Spain 8. Italian reds either Chianti Classico (have food with it!) or Roero/Langhe Nebbiolo/Nebbiolo d'Alba/Barbaresco 9. California – Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir (or more specifically Santa Maria Valley or Sta. Rita Hills) 10. Barossa Valley Shiraz (take another look if you haven't in a while!). For more restraint, you can look for Shiraz from Eden Valley, a sub region of the Barossa Valley 11. Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon, especially Maipo Andes/ Alto Maipo is best, due to the higher altitude in this area 12. Argentinean Malbec, more specifically from Gualtallary, Tupungato, Altamira or, more generally the Uco Valley and Lujan de Cuyo Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon.

Mike Lucia from Cole Ranch in Mendocino County is here on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger, on a special Monday edition. His family owns the ranch and they made their first wine in November of 2019. They have been converting a lot of their acreage to alpine varieties and have been selling fruit and making wine since then. John Cole, the vineyard's namesake, passed away last year. He started a ranch that was going to be a cattle ranch, but he slowly started planting varieties that he liked, which were Cabernet, Merlot and Riesling. In 1984 he petitioned for Cole Ranch to become an AVA and he got it. Dan tells about how hard it is to farm this land, which is not easy work. They have started with rootstock and irrigation systems, doing it all organically. You start with rootstock and then you can graft a varietal onto the rootstock. Cole Ranch, the Bahl Fratty Source This is where Dan Berger got his Riesling fruit for his Bahl Fratty Riesling. It is just barely ready to be released. A friend of Dan's who is a German Riesling expert said he would buy some now and put it in his cellar for about three years. Dan knew how good this Riesling fruit was and he wanted it. So in 2022 finally Mike was able to procure a ton of fruit for Dan, for Bahl Fratty. Rootdown Wine is the name of Mike Lucia's own label. Dan describes the aromatics as typical of Cole Ranch. In Dan's opinion, this is the best Riesling vineyard in the US. The terroir shows up in the aromatics of the wine. Dan's wine has zero sugar, and Mike's has only a little. Both will age very well, even if most people think of buying Riesling and drinking it right away. With these wines, they are showing people what can happen with aged, vintaged Riesling. Dan's favorite Rieslings in his personal cellar are the 2001s and 2002s. For the rest of the episode, Dan and Mike delve deeply into the whole subject of Riesling, Cole Ranch and making unusual wines.

Dan Berger, the Balletto Vineyard Portrait There is no new CWC show today, so for today's podcast edition, we offer this fun and interesting episode from last February, featuring CWC co-host and journalist Dan Berger. Enjoy! Dan Berger, longtime co-host of California Wine Country takes center stage on the show today, with Steve Jaxon and Harry Duke. Harry Duke describes a 32-point sheet that Dan brought, full of stories from his life. Dan ends up telling about several of those stories, in this show and the next one a week later. In the 1950s his parents won a Pepsodent toothpaste contest by writing 25 words about the brand in clever rhyming couplets. The prize was a lot of money. The family moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1949. Dan attended Fairfax High School where he was in a barbershop quartet that won the LA city championship. While a student at UCLA he sang in the a capella choir and even performed at the Hollywood Bowl. He also sang the Messiah in Amy Semple Macpherson's temple for several years. Journalist and Reporter He became night sports editor at AP and covered track and field for AP at the Munich Olympics in 1972, where he ended up covering the terrorist attack as well. All the other correspondents were off their beats because of a lot of the events were over, but Dan was there. Dan also covered a fatal plane crash in Samoa and got the story of how one of the few survivors made it out alive. He was working at AP in Los Angeles and told his editor “…if you need anybody, I speak the language.” Later his editor offered to send him there and asked him what language they speak. “English, it's an American possession,” he replied. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Bottle Barn online for the coolest bargains on wine, beer and spirits. He was a general assignment reporter and sportswriter. He was sent to cover the Patty Hearst kidnapping in San Francisco. When land lines were the only phones, he made sure he was the only reporter who could use the only available phone and he beat the competition by six minutes. Back then, that was an eternity for competitive reporters. Track & Field, Football, Basketball and Baseball He also wrote a book about basketball called Basketball, the Sports Playbook, published by Doubleday. They were publishing a series on different sports and the first draft of the book on basketball was a non-starter. The editor asked if Dan could write the book on short notice and he accepted the job. He sat down with his friend Pete Newell, the head coach at Cal, and wrote the book in three weeks. One time, he was leaving the Dodger clubhouse, he was the only reporter who knew about the retirement of Don Drysdale. Another reporter asked him if there was any news and he simply replied, No. He was not obliged to share the scoop. After ten years at the AP he took a job writing for the NFL, where he worked on their magazine called “Pro!” All the writers were great journalists but after a year he wanted to get back into real journalism. The Corked Riesling His interest in wine came from too many late nights covering sporting events. After games, all the sports writers would gather to go out to dinner and the only food was steak, potatoes and beer. He wanted something different, so they went out for seafood and ordered a bottle of German Riesling. He thought the wine smelled terrible. The waiter agreed it was corked. He said that Dan had a good palette, enough to have a career in wine. After he had been writing about wine for a few years, based in San Diego, he was invited to judge in Healdsburg in 1981. He moved to Sonoma County in 1986. In 1982 Dan Berger founded the Riverside International Wine Competition. He was tired of the numerical scores on wines that meant nothing. He felt that gold medals from qualified judges meant more. Dan still runs The Dan Berger International Wine Competition, which published its results online going back to 2016.

My guest is Stefan Pauly, the owner and winemaker for the iconic Dr. Pauly Bergweiler. I was a little intimidated right before meeting Stefan considering this was my first interview in the Mosel and the winery has been around since 1556. Those feelings were gone in five seconds as Stefan opened his doors with a big warm welcome and moments later brought out this crazy lineup of his wines including two that were over 40+ years old. If you still have those lingering fears that German Riesling is just too sweet for you have a listen and enjoy. Great company and a wonderful lineup of wine.

Episode 114! K's enjoying a German Riesling from Gerd Anselmann from the Pfalz Dornfelder region and J's having Mezzacorona estate bottled Pinot Grigio, which is Italian and sustainably certified. Today we're talking about the growing pains of resuming "normal" life as we ease out of the pandemic (slowly). Topics include: respecting time boundaries, doing work on "non work" days, feeling like everything needs to be done right now, complications in communication and planning in-person events, readjusting to being in public spaces, and maintaining connections. J's been working on K's cat sweater and K's working on a baby blanket, finished her market bag, and made a scrunchie. J is happy to be moving forward toward ordination and not having big things looming over her and K is happy that her secret project for another podcast was successful! Get vaccinated if you can!

This interview is with Austin Morris Bridges with Nostrana Restaurant. In this interview, he describes working in restaurants from a young age, working his way up, and learning from several mentors. Early on he was exposed to German Riesling, which sparked his interest in wine. Austin started taking some wine classes, and pursuing music in school. Later, he moved to Germany where he learned more about food and wine, while working around Europe for some time. He speaks about his decision to move back to Oregon and find a job in Portland. Austin goes on to describe running a restaurant early on, his hospitality philosophy, and tells how he creates a wine list and chooses food and wine pairings. Towards the end of the interview, Austin describes his role at Nostrona and Enoteca Nostrana, and describes the ethos of each place. To conclude, he gives the impact COVID-19 has had on his life and the restaurant and wine industry. This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Nostrana Restaurant with Austin Morris Bridges on November 2, 2020.
In Episode #6 I'm going to review some amazing wine gifts and explain why they are perfect for friends, family, yourself - truly any wine lover! I'm also going to spend some time discussing a question I get a lot this time of year - “what wines make great holiday gifts?” Whether you're shopping for your boss or looking for a hostess gift to bring to your annual Christmas gathering, I'm going to give you a few options here that should help you get through the holiday season! And all of these wines plus my full holiday gift guide are also listed on my blog, with links to purchase, at thewineceo.com/blog ---------- We start by diving into price points and buying wines that you know they will love. But what if you don't know what they like? Here are my 3 recommendations for this holiday season... 1. Stick to bubbles! Everyone likes champagne and you know they'll use it for new year's if they don't drink it around Christmas. Plus you can find some really good champagne for $40-$80. Try Veuve Cliquot Yellow Label or Demi-Sec, Billecart Salmon Brut Reserve, Tattinger Brut, or Piper Heiseick Sublime Demi Sec. 2. Try a California Cabernet Sauvignon. Most folks, regardless of wine knowledge, are familiar with Cabernet Sauvignon and will recognize Napa and Sonoma as great wine regions. Also, since many folks eat prime rib, roast beef, and other heavy meats for Christmas, a Cabernet Sauvignon will go great with these. Some of my favorites include Chappellet Signature Napa Cab, Stag's Leap Artemis, Chateau Montelena, or Caymus. 3. But if you feel like they will get a ton of standard wines and you want yours to stand out, my recommendation would be to try either a French Pinot Noir from Burgundy or a sweet German Riesling. Both of these wines are recognized in the US, but not as well known as a lot of California wines and Champagnes. Try Joseph Drouhin Gevrey Chambertin, Domaine Chevillon Chezeaux Nuis St. Georges, or the Jadot Beaune Vignes for a Burgundy Pinot Noir. And try Dr. Loosen and Trimbach for great German riesling. For more gift ideas and to check out the full list of items on my holiday gift guide, be sure to check out my blog post HERE and happy shopping!
A lot of people often ask me why sake. They are usually quite intrigued. I’m not Japanese (they don’t know that sake in Japan is not that popular these days), I’ve never lived in Japan (only visited two times as a tourist), my wife is not Japanese (again, another thing that could link me to the drink, don’t know why). I wouldn’t say that I fell in love with sake at the first sight or shall I say sip. For a long time, my drink of choice was wine or beer. I love German Riesling, I enjoyed French and Italian wines when we were going on holiday there. I like beer. Before my I breakthrough with sake a few years ago, I had tried sake a couple of times and it was ok but nothing to write home about. Then one day I’ve got an email from a good friend of mine, who is also fascinated by Japan, inviting me to a sake tasting.

In this episode we're going to be talking about what it is to feel whole as a single human, and not rely on someone else to make you feel “whole”. There seems to be a little bit of romance about someone making you whole, but actually is that right? Shouldn't you be whole already? This episode will be paired with a German Riesling as it's just a grape variety which is fantastic on it's own and it's beautiful match for our discussion. So pour yourself a glass, get comfy and remember - sips don't lie, and you're starting to feel it's right!

Episode Notes Episode 28 – Hidden Gems After a week away, Pete and VinoMike are back! The reason for the off week was a death in Pete’s wife’s family. Gretchen’s Aunt Vicky – her Godmother – passed away suddenly. Pete spent a full week in Nebraska with her family being a supportive spouse. This show is dedicated to Aunt Vicky and we thank her for her service to our country. While away, there was a lot of family time. One thing Pete did was go to a hidden gem of a restaurant in tiny West Point, Nebraska called The Bohemian Duck. The food was incredible and the wine list surprising. He found Porter Creek Syrah and Pamplin Cabernet Sauvignon. And to pair with the duck, he was thrilled to find R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia 2007. To find these wines in such a small place in the middle of small-town Nebraska was a real treat! VinoMike talked about a hidden gem in Las Vegas – Lotus of Siam. The spicy Thai food goes perfectly with German Riesling and Mike talks about the huge list they feature. A small sampling of the list is online but you gotta be there for the full experience! Pete also talks about visiting a couple of places in Omaha – WineStyles and Corkscrew. Pete started his wine career as an owner of WineStyles and he enjoyed that trip down memory lane. He also talked about finding Ameztoi Txakolina at Corkscrew. Another hidden gem! The duo winds down the episode talking about supporting local as much as possible in the pandemic. Let’s be safe and keep these local hidden gems going! As a reminder, Pete and Mike do not accept advertising dollars from wineries or wine wholesalers. They purchase the bottles they taste on the show. These are not paid endorsements. They could use the money, so this integrity thing sucks. Thank you for listening to That Wine Pod!

shopping is overwhelming. When you walk into a grocery store or wine shop you’re confronted with hundreds of options. How do you pick a decent bottle? Wouldn’t it be nice if there was someone there with you to suggest a few? Crunchy Red Fruit is based in Seattle and acts as your own personal Master Sommelier . They curate and send you wines you love to drink. Wines that tell a story. Wines that are different from what’s offered at big box stores. Most of the wine bought and drank in the US today is made in bulk quantities, using machine-harvested grapes and utilizing heavy chemical intervention in both the vineyard and winery. These wines are full of ingredients that we can’t pronounce, and look more at home on a shampoo bottle than on something that you’re going to drink. Jackson Rohrbaugh, founder and president of Crunchy Red Fruit wants to show you a better way. Jackson has a passion for sharing wine from small grape producers who work organically in their vineyards and don’t obscure the natural taste of their grapes with chemical intervention in the winery. His company works with wineries that are transparent in their process, and are honest about what they create. They believe that this honesty makes for more interesting wines in the end. Jackson is additionally the former Master Sommelier for Seattle’s most famous gourmet restaurant Canlis, and was born and raised in surrounding area in Gig Harbor. JACKSON'S STORY In this episode Tyler and Jackson start the conversation by cracking open a bottle of vino. "I'm always tasting," Rohrbaugh said, "part of this business is trying to figure out what are the wines that make sense for my business, what's going to go in the box...there's a lot of things I am on the hunt for in a bottle of wine that other people aren't on the hunt for, I have my own specific criteria." "This is a wine that someone is an importer sent me samples of. It's pretty cool having wine coming to your door all the time," Jackson continued. They two men are sipping on a Pinotage from South Africa...it's made by Painted Wolf. "Pinotage is interesting because it is not the favorite grape of Sommeliers. It's usually relegated to garbage bin status, " Jackson said. It is then revealed that Pinotage is even equated to a "rubber band, band-aid" taste. Fortunately for Tyler, Jackson assures him as is not the case with the Painted Wolf Pinotage. Tyler takes a sip and the two agree the wine meets both their criteria. Tyler then goes into Jackson's personal story, starting with the German roots of that hard to pronounce last name. The discussion then goes into German wine and a Sommelier favorite German Riesling. Jackson calls German Riesling "undervalued" and says that you can get amazing bottle of German Riesling for $15 to $20. "Riesling was once the most expensive wine available," Jackson said. He blames this on a sweeter pallet of people living centuries ago. Jackson may have German roots but was born and raised in Gig Harbor and went to college at the University of Washington. He now resides in Seattle with his family. Jackson was introduced to the world of gourmet food and wine while living abroad for a year in Italy. During the conversation, Jackson speaks a bit of Italian to illustrate his time in the place internationally known for incredible food and wine. Jackson said he returned to Seattle for the natural beauty and the exceptional produce. "We have the greatest oysters in the world, some of the greatest salmon...it's pretty cool to live here with the quality of our natural products and fresh air..." Jackson said. Where did this love for quality food come from? Tyler asked. "My mom was a great cook, we didn't grow up with a ton, my parents cleaned houses to make ends meet and that was after their day jobs and so she knew how to do a lot with a little and she had great recipes that we came to know and love," Jackson said. JACKSON'S CAREER Tyler dives deeper into what it was like working for the Seattle-famous Canlis family and the stigma surrounding gourmet food. "It is expensive to dine there and wealth and equality is a thing in our society and I would never want to gloss over that,” Jackson said. “But the point is the people behind it have huge hearts and are super generous and have taught so many other people who have worked there or been guests there or vendors who have sold there and you learn how to treat everyone with generosity and hospitality when you are in that system, it's not about exclusion or making someone feel bad. It's about welcoming them in and that's formed my life in a huge way, and my business in a huge way and who I am...and that's the biggest take away from working there,” he continued. "It's face to face, I am here for you, I embrace you," Jackson continued. THE SOMMELIER CERTIFICATION PROCESS So, what does it actually take to become a Master Sommelier? Noteworthy questions Why was it so hard? Which part of the test was the most difficult? What advice would you give someone wanting to do something hard that requires failure? What interested you about wine that inspired you to do it as a profession? JACKSON'S COMPANY A Bite into the Crunchy Red Fruit Noteworthy questions Why start the company? How does it work? What’s it cost? What wines do you have in the current box? Why did you choose them? SEATTLE'S WINE ECOSYSTEM Noteworthy questions What do you think of the culture here in Seattle? Are there cities that are bigger wine cities? How has tech played a role in wine? Where do you see Seattle in the next 10 years? Where do you see the wine world in the next 10 years? What’s your biggest hope for Seattle? Jackson also let's us know his two favorite places to grab wine and dinner in the city. "If you want a really fun french bistro vibe...go to Le Caviste...killer little champagne and wine bar," Jackson said. La Caviste is located at 1919 7th Ave. "If you want your pallet stretched and want to taste something funky, a little off the beaten path go to Bar Ferdinand in Capitol Hill," he said. "They are going to pour you things that will stretch your imagination a little bit," Jackson said. FIND JACKSON Jackson Rohrbaugh: Instagram, Facebook, Website

The 2 Non Somms discuss their top picks for wine to serve for Thanksgiving and present bonus wine recommendations to savor while enjoying The National Dog Show. - Dave's philosophy: Red in the gravy, white in the glass Vouvray or another wine made from 100% Chenin Blanc - This wine will bring the party ALL *clap* DAY *clap* LONG If you want to serve something specifically with dessert, go for sweet German Riesling (auslese or spätlese). An exception to the white in the glass mantra can be made here with a Port or other sweet fortified red. Jen's philosophy: Red wine marathon Looking for tried and true? Pinot Noir. Jen calls out Robert Mondavi specifically. Looking to share something less common? Jen recommends Lagrein; Alois Lageder if you can find it. - For the dog show, Jen's planning on some warm mulled wine while Dave has committed to a nice Chianti in honor of his special dog, Zak. - Add your voice to the show by sharing your wine wins with us on facebook, twitter, and instagram @2nonsomms or send email to 2nonsomms@gmail.com Theme music provided by The Labor: https://soundcloud.com/the-labor Icon courtesy of ibrandify.com

"I don't like Rielsing." Wait for it. "It's too sweet." If I had a dollar for every time I heard those words when I was in wholesale and retail trade I'd have a very nice cellar of Rieslings. I'm not trying to convince anyone anymore about the merits of German Riesling, for now long living in the shadows of Cabernet, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. I'll leave that chore to Jancis Robinson and the sommeliers of fine dining establishments. Having championed German Riesling for decades now, if Jancis' breadth of knowledge and proselytizing about the virtues of Riesling doesn't make you more curious about the wine, you can't be helped. Notice how I mentioned the red wines before the Chardonnay. Well, that's because anybody that knows anything about wine, knows there is only one real type of wine and it has to be red. Cheers to the "Big Reds Only Guy", downing glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon at mid-summer outdoor barbecues. Alright enough with the sarcasm, lest you think I don't like German Riesling. I love Riesling. I suppose one of the reasons I love German Riesling is the tradition behind it. Some of the best Riesling wines hail from the incredibly steep valley slopes of the Mosel, Saar and Ruwer rivers in the southwestern region of Germany not too far from the borders of France and Luxembourg. Farming and harvesting on these steep slopes can be done by machines but it's still mostly done traditionally by hand, using seasonal workers from eastern Europe. A machine harvester can replace fifty grape pickers, start work at a moments' notice and doesn't need to take breaks during its shifts. As time marches on the machines will do more and more of the work, although I'm not convinced for now, that the machines do a better job than humans. Holding to tradition Nik's vineyard holdings are still hand harvested. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in seasoned Fuder ( thousand liter oak barrels) make German Rielsings truly unique wines. One of the reasons German Riesling is touted as having the greatest ability to express the differences in terroir is the fact that the German winemakers eschew new small oak barrels in the cellar for fermentation or aging. This allows for a truer expression of what the grapes have to offer in the finished wines. Think of new oak barrels as condiments in your kitchen and without the use of your condiments you have only the true flavors of your base ingredient.The object of my desires this week is the 2015 Single Post Riesling Ockfener Bockstein Kabinett from the Saar River Valley. Nik Weis is in charge of this operation and his grandfather Nicolaus Weis built the St. Urbans-Hof estate after the war, by the village of Leiwen in 1947. The family owns an extensive amount of vines (33 hectares) in the Mosel and Saar area. The grapes for the Single Post come from a leased portion of the Ockfener Bockstein vineyard so the Single Post bottling is a secondary label for St. Urbans-Hof. Even though you don't get their distinctive black and gold label that adorns their top wines, you do get a wine that has been raised under the watchful eye of Nik Weis, from a Grand Cru vineyard. That in itself is a great value because Nik makes great wines at fair prices. Ockfener The Single Post Riesling is crafted from grapes grown on the steep south facing slopes of the Bockstein Vineyard above the village of Ockfen. Bock is a buck in German and a stein is a rock. German wine labels in the past have been notoriously famous for their Gothic fonts and tongue twisting names which could be difficult to read and understand. Nik is a smart marketer, electing to use easy to understand labeling, but still giving a nod to the old schoolers. For this wine the label clearly states Single Post Riesling in bold red and gold fonts. Typically used on steep slopes where trellising is not possible 'Single Post' vines have their own stake with two canes bent in the shape of a heart. A drawing of this vine training style is featured on the front label. For the traditional old schoolers the name of the village, vineyard and wine style is in smaller font towards the bottom of the label. Ockfener meaning from the village of Ockfen. Bockstein is the name of the vineyard site, set in a side valley of the Saar River with a 50% slope and a southwest exposure. Kabinett denotes a high quality wine made in a light style. Turn the bottle around and you essentially get the same information on the back side along with the International Riesling Foundation Taste Profile. For the consumer this easy to read scale makes buying German Rielsing much easier. The bottle features a red colored stelvin closure with the words con natura non invicem. A nod to Nik's recent affiliation with the Fair and Green Association which espouses a holistic sustainability concept. Consequently traditional and natural winemaking methods are used in Nik's cellars instead of some of the modern technology and hocus pocus you may witness in other cellars.The Single Post Riesling has a light amber color and displays lemon-lime, white peach and intriguing leesy aromas. On the palate it's Golden Delicious apples and apricots all wrapped in honey. At 8% alcohol its off dry, delicately light with vibrant acidity and a long lengthy finish that leave you wanting more. In our household once a bottle of Single Post is opened there's never any left over for tomorrow. Both the 2015 and the 2016 vintage are currently available on the market. $18 to $20 The village of Ockfen photo courtesy of Ockfen.com

This week we continue of series on our favorite types of wine for summer with Riesling. Riesling is a white grape variety which originated in the Rhine region of Germany but it's grown all over the world. We covered Riesling way back in March 2016 in episode four. Click here if you want to take a trip down memory lane. Wine Recommendations 2016 Hogue Late Harvest Riesling - priced around $10. This wine has an intense nose of apricot, tangerine and lanolin It’s sweet, with high acidity and medium body with flavors of apricot, peach and tangerine 12.5% ABV but with the high amount of acidity and sweetness you can get away with pairing this with spicy food Schlink Haus 2017 Riesling Kabinett Nahe - prcied around $12. This wine has a nose of peach, orange zest, and a hint of wax It’s medium sweet with medium plus acidity and medium minus body with flavors of candied orange and peach, apricot and honey This wine is sweet with ripe fruity flavors but not a flabby wine still lots of acidity with a long finish Boundary Breaks Vineyard 2016 - priced around $19. This wine has a nose of Beeswax, nectarine, lime and green apple It’s medium dry so just a touch of sweetness, light body and medium plus acidity with flavors of peach, lime and green apple Because it’s medium dry with 12% ABV, we won’t recommend spicy food but lighter dishes or pair with cheeses This wine is light, soft and sophisticated with such a beautiful balance of flavors. Nik Weis St Urbans-Hof Riesling 2016 - priced around $19. This wine really confused us at first. The nose starts with a burnt matchstick aroma and as it opens up you then get those fruity aromas of green apple, peach a little slate with we expected of the Mosel area It’s light bodied, medium sweet and medium plus acidity with flavors of green apple, minerality and light peach It has 10% ABV so this could be pair with spicy foods It’s sweet but lighter than the other German Riesling we talked about both in body in flavors Sources: Wikipedia Wine Folly Bacchus Importers LTD
Do you believe in witches? Here at WSD HQ, we certainly bloody well do. In fact we’ve recorded a podcast about it. That’s right, this time we’re looking at one of the greatest horror films ever made: Dario Argento and Daria Nicolodi’s gore-tastic, expressionist, gothic nightmare Suspiria. From its proggy, creepy Goblin soundtrack to its startling use of vivid colours and unrelenting penchant for stylistic violence, this 1977 masterpiece is utterly mesmerising. This episode we find out what makes the film so special, and ask “is Argento a misogynist creep?” Bubbling away in the cauldron this month is a dry German Riesling, some gin and orange juice and a nice wee cup of strawberry tea.
Brian Demay and sommelier Steve Tartaglia talk about why #Riesling from the #Mosel is world class, making sense of the German classification system (#kabinett, #spatlese, #auselese), and the legend of the black cat. #Jacob-Heims #Urziger #Wurzgarten

What can be said about a podcast episode like this one? Well, I suppose I could say that me (Xander), Ben (big-headed twat), David Lintzenich (extra gym-nasty gymnast), and Cristina Luzarraga (firmly established as not Jewish in a segment cut from the show) review a white wine (riesling) and speak with implied parenthetical addenda (like this! get it?). It is actually a damn fine episode and one worthy of you (whomever you are, you sick bag of vomit) listening to, first time listener or otherwise. Dicks!
Eroica is an elegant off-dry Washington Riesling that has blazed a trail for high-end American Riesling. Eroica delivers a unique combination of mandarin orange aromas characteristic of Washington state Rieslings, melded with the mineral, spiced apple and slate notes with lively, crisp acidity associated with German Riesling.
