Vintage 2022 | This is the basic Pinot noir of the cooperation Mayschoss Altenahr in the Ahr, the oldest in the world. Ridiculous price and só lovely, bottled raspberries and elegance. Topwine on a Monday evening after a hard days work. Paired with Cantonese beef with mango, a dish we have been making for 30 years and still makes us ultra happy… — 22 days ago

Vintage 2016 | Brown colour, explosive and fruity smell: mesmerizing! Beautiful balance. I am impressed by this German Pinot Noir that is à Point. Paired with Gougères (cheese puffs made with Gruyère), petit tendre beef and zucchini tarts. — 3 months ago

Vintage 2006 / Retzstadter Langenberg #Bacchus Kabinett / When I told my tailor Paul I visited winegrowers in Franken, the land of ‘bocksbeutel’ bottles, he said: hold on, went to his office and returned with this bottle. How about this? He asked. I thought: 2006... that wine must me dead, Paul, I am sorry. Well take it with you and see, he told me. I put it in the fridge, looked suspiciously at the screw cap... and opened this #Franken wine a few hours later. Colour of old gold, not bad at all... Sniff, sniff. A smell with hints of tangerine, honey, a rose garden. I looked better at the label and then saw: halbtrocken. And kabinett. That means there is residual sugar in this wine (‘restsüsse’). I sip... and am amazed: it is still correct, more than that: it is a joy to drink! In the smell also citrus, gets better with aeration. How amazing wine can be... grow older... and still be vibrant. Lovely experience. / Bacchus is a crossing of riesling and sylvaner and Müller thurgau. — 6 years ago

Vintage 2019 | this bottle survived the ‘Hochwasserfluss’ disaster in 2021. Now at home it tastes even better than in July when we were there. Refinement and elegance. — a month ago

Vintage 2016 A winegrowers life is full of challenges. The grapes for this wine were harvested very late, it was meant to become an #eiswein #icewine but there came no frost 🤨 so it became an #auslese. It is a God drink with impeccable balance and a frivolous smell with peach and apricot! #ahr Great effort! — 6 years ago
