Ruppertsberger Gaisböhl GC Riesling Monopol 2011

I’m sitting here in my Camper after a wine tasting at Dautel (Württemberg, Top wines), sipping this Pfälzer GG (great body and a certain opulence—the wine is top-notch, a real Pfälzer Riesling spectacle) and mulling over the plans for my bike tour along the Baden Wine Route—a crazy combination. Over the next 12 days, I’ll be biking over 500 miles and sampling wines from 16 top wineries in Baden. Looking back, I’ll feel like I’m in heaven. — a month ago

@Joel Lara It was simply amazing: beautiful scenery, great architecture, weather that cooperated, passionate people who are truly dedicated to their cause, a strong commitment to organic living, genuine hospitality, spontaneous accommodations tailored to our needs, beautiful cities (Karlsruhe, Heidelberg, Freiburg, Basel), culinary experiences, and even some physical activity. I love cycling trips—you can enjoy the speed while taking in your surroundings and getting a real feel for the area.

@Barny Sounds amazing glad you enjoyed it! What’s not to like combining biking and wine? I hope to do a long bike trip like that at some point. We’ve rented bikes for a day during trips to see the scenery and really enjoyed it.

Not sure about 500 miles though 😝. Sounds like the scenery was beautiful.

Forstberg Oberstenfeld Spätburgunder Grosses Gewächs 2018

High octane Württemberg Spatburgunder with so much soul and complexity. Incredible weight and concentration without sacrificing delicate nuance. Bark, stones, and wild red fruits. Sappy with ripe tannin and lush acidity for the long haul. Snagged a few bottles of this for a song and will try to hold the others if I can keep my hands off of them. This wine has raised German Pinot on the map for me, really good stuff. — 3 years ago

Riesling 2019

Fantastic value. Mostly dry Riesling and the complexity one expects from such a wine. Would drink again and was a hit for folks who typically have different preferences (good for those who like sweet or dry). — 5 years ago

After three days this wine was finally open. One for the cellar. Germany Pinot has my attention. — 6 years ago

Forstberg Spätburgunder Oberstenfeld 2015

Outstanding single vineyard Spätburgunder from Württemberg. Perfectly ripe, fresh acidity with fine balance of savory and pure red fruit character. The warmth and depth of some of these reds will come as a surprise to many, but they are indeed increasingly high in quality from this rather unheralded subregion. This is a name to watch for in German Pinot Noir, brought to US market by Terry Theise. — 8 years ago

Bönnigheim Steingrüber Riesling 2019

A salty dog on this go around. Reading less tropical with more lime and slate. Was able to pick a few more and have four more bottles. — 4 months ago

Schupen Bönnigheim Spätburgunder Grosse Lage 2018

Really meaty and mineral driven, almost like jerky flavors, opened with a medium body and then spread out into more fullness as it opened up. — 2 years ago

Smoke, brett, dark cherry, plum, and anise. Fresh and light but layered with dark mocha, cracked pepper, and barnyard funk. Shorter finish but great flavor profile. — 6 years ago

Wald Vor Lauter Bäumen 2018

Incredibly elegant Lemberger from the Bönnigheimer Sonnenberg-Schallenberg vineyard, matured in 1200 Liter acacia wood barrel, finest fruit nuances, very concentrated, juicy, full-bodied, velvety, revealing extreamly many facets with air, with an endless aftertaste, surely even better in 10 years 😍 — a year ago
