An excellent theme for this month's WBW, Old World Riesling, from one of the grand poobahs of the WBW, our own Tim Elliot from the Winecast. Thanks for hosting, Tim! Riesling is a grape of the ancients, dating back to...

Wed 8 May 2008 Hooray for Wine Blogging Wednesday : my once a month excuse for a good bottle of wine, mid week, on a school night! And this month, Tim at WineCast has chosen Old World Riesling. I was so excited I almost did WBW last Wednesday! Having grown up in South Australia, home of the great Clare Valley Rieslings, I used to think that Riesling was, well, kind of nasty. For a long time, my white...

McDuff's Food & Wine Trail (Free subscription) | 08/05/2008
Call it cheating if you will. I prefer to think of it as synchronicity. Today's edition of Wine Blogging Wednesday , hosted by Tim Elliott at Winecast , follows just one day after my class on German wines at Tria Fermentation School. And this month’s theme – Old World Riesling – falls right into the core of last night's curriculum. So, as much as I was tempted to go for the relatively obscure and track...

We've participated in "WBW" a couple times, but always with Twisted Oak wines somehow featured. This time, I'm tasting something that has absolutely nothing to do with Twisted Oak! Was rummaging around in the bottom of the home wine storage...

McDuff's Food & Wine Trail (Free subscription) | 06/05/2008
Just a quick post today. I’ve spent the last couple of days focusing on if not obsessing over my presentation for tonight's class on German wines at Tria Fermentation School. For a while I was beginning to wonder if the class would even come to fruition, as at this time last week registration was only at half-mast. It seems German wine is still a hard sell here in the city that loves you back. However,...

Germany. 12%. Vino-lok . Approx $A40. Lacking the customary Schloss Vollrads crest, and the three, four and five syllable Germanic descriptors one would commonly associate with quality, I'd imagine this is an entry level wine. It's also my entry for WBW45 , which this month is hosted by the always reliable and informative Winecast . From the year that can seemingly do no wrong, this 2005 Riesling...

Tim at Winecast is the host of Wine Blogging Wednesday #45 , and chose an interesting theme - Old World Riesling. The timing was perfect as I just polished off some very satisfying Donnhoff Weissburgunder and Grauburgunder and the SAQ had a release of Donnhoff's Rieslings. Pale gold in the glass, the 2006 Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett was very aromatic: classic petrol with honey...

This month’s Wine Blogging Wednesday is hosted by Tim at Winecast and focuses on Old World Rieslings. What is Old World? Well, Tim wanted us to pick a Riesling from Germany, France’s Alsace region, and Austria. We were happy to...
