A highlight of Italian grappa culture: the Riserve A highlight of Italian grappa culture: the Riserve from Distilleria Nonino. In the great KaDeWe tasting presented by the wonderful host Hagen Hoppenstedt in the presence of Antonella Nanoni, there was a whole range of rare bottlings to try, such as Acquavite Ùe Riserva Cru Monovitigno Moscato 19 Years or the Gran Riserva Monovitigno Picolit 10 Years from Sauternes barrels. The perfectly composed food pairing by the great KaDeWe cooking team was also wonderful.

The end of winter is an ideal opportunity to taste The end of winter is an ideal opportunity to taste a red Coteaux Champenois. This Urville Rouge from Drappier comes from the Côte des Bar: The colour is like a traditional Alsatian Pinot Noir, but without any residual sweetness, quite lively acidity, and very light natural perlage.

The future of the wine fair? The Millésime Alsace The future of the wine fair? The Millésime Alsace wine fair will take place from today until 1 March as a pure "digital salon". The tastings were organised as "digitasting": Here, "visitors" chose their exhibitors of interest in advance and in return received a time slot for a digital meeting and a set of tasting samples. A very interesting format - unfortunately the number of tasting samples was quite limited.

January in Bolgheri. The liqueurs of Emilio Borsi January in Bolgheri. The liqueurs of Emilio Borsi from Castagneto Carducci are much older than the great red wines from the district of Bolgheri. However, of course, I didn't travel to the Tuscan coast for the liqueurs. But, unfortunately, there is a blackout period until March 23 - but then there will immediately be a big story in "FINE - Das Weinmagazin" with exciting news for all Fine Wine collectors.

A Single Vineyard Cider (Ebbelwoi or Apfelwein) fr A Single Vineyard Cider (Ebbelwoi or Apfelwein) from the Wetterau in Germany. The Rosbacher Köppel 2020 from Weidmann & Groh is one of the very rare ciders from a single vineyard and really a FINE (Apple) WINE. The apple varieties Kaiser Wilhelm, Graurenette, Bohnapfel and two as yet unknown kind of apples are grown in a mixed set on the slopes of the Taunus Mountains in Hessen. I grew up just a few kilometres away and then switched to (grape) wine - but I still love a good Ebbelwoi!
