videoMiddle Mosel Explained: Bernkastel, Piesport, Wehlen & Germany’s Greatest Riesling Vineyards
In this video, I continue my guide to the Mosel with a detailed look at the Middle Mosel, one of Germany’s most famous and important Riesling regions. I explore the key villages, vineyards and styles of the Middle Mosel, including Leiwen, Trittenheim, Piesport, Brauneberg, Bernkastel-Kues, Graach, Wehlen, Zeltingen, Ürzig, Erden, Kröv and Enkirch. Along the way, I look at some of the region’s most famous vineyard sites, including Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, Brauneberger Juffer, Bernkasteler Doctor, Graacher Himmelreich, Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Ürziger Würzgarten, Erdener Prälat, Erdener Treppchen and Batterieberg. This is an ideal video for anyone studying German wine, WSET Level 3, WSET Diploma, German Wine Scholar, or anyone wanting to understand why the Middle Mosel is so closely associated with world-class Riesling.

Behind the Cork™ - Paso D'Oro Cabernet Sauvignon
Paso D’Oro Cabernet Sauvignon ($22) Paso D'Oro is a winery venture by the Terlato Wine Group that focuses on producing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon from the Paso Robles region in California. The name translates to "Way of Gold," paying tribute to the golden California sunshine and the "golden path" taken by the winemaker's family. The wines are crafted by Laura Orozco, who was appointed as the winemaker for this venture in 2022 after her successful tenure at Napa's Chimney Rock. The grapes for this wine are from four different American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) in Paso Robles including the Estrella District, San Juan Creek District, Geneseo District and the Highlands District. Each block has a different elevation, soil type, row direction, clone and rootstock. Paso D’Oro Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petite Sirah and 4% Alicante Bouschet. Each individual vineyard block was fermented individually using several different yeast strains. It was aged 8 mo

Budget destinations
I'm not in this for the clicks, but I have noticed that for some reason my blog posts about Aldi and Lidl beers are the most popular thing I write. It is a source of some dismay to one of such a refined palate as myself. And much as I hate to give the people what they want, there are very often new beers to try at the supermarket. Aldi tends to have the turnover and the most amusing knock-offs, but today's are Lidl's work, though very much in the same vein. Birra Bionda (or "Bit of Beyond That", as it's rendered on Dublin's northside) is their answer to Moretti. The cheery chap on the parchment-coloured background isn't wearing a hat, so it's a completely different look to Heineken Italy's original. This is stronger than Moretti, at 5% ABV, and it poured with a surprise Kellerbier haze. The label gives us no clue as to what country it was brewed in, but there's a definite German influence. The texture is candyfloss-soft, making it feel like a pillowy Munich Helles, and ther
