After a lovely dinner we went back the next morning to buy some wine at the Vinothek. The woman…read morebehind the counter was outright rude. She ignored our multiple requests to sample a wine before purchasing it and during our entire interaction with her she was passive aggressive. A very disappointing experience, especially after the lovely dinner in the Leopold Restaurant the previous evening.

Recently, I did a wine tasting of some of the prominent wineries of the Pfalz in Germany and…read moreKoehler-Ruprecht turned out to be one of the most surprising. I was fortunate to have tasted their full range of wines with the winemaker and toured their historic cellar. The wines were stunning and the 2010 Kallstadter Saumagen Riesling Kabinett Trocken was my favorite that I tasted. The wine has a beautiful balance of elegance and richness. It has great minerality and is full-bodied with bright acidity. This wine is just a glimpse of the fabulous treats this winery has to offer. I've even found Koehler-Ruprecht on some local restaurant wine lists in San Diego and, needless to say, I don't hesitate to order it. Such a great experience, such great wines!

Solid mid-range winery in the Pfalz near Mannheim. First had a taste of his Weißburgunder in…read moreFrankfurt's Holbeins. He also delivers to a number of better quality hotels so it was worth driving down. Weißburgunder is a nice everyday wine at EUR8.40. Also bought some Sauvignon Blanc at EUR10.00 well worth the price. Did not get into the reds but others have comented in the Deutsch reviews. They have a comfortable tasting area, large enough for a crowd, open 10:00-16:00 Mon-Sat. Worth a side trip.

Fabulous family owned winery in the Pfalz. It's in a beautiful old village and the whole winery is…read morein a nice old building. It's been making wine since 1744 and has 21 hectares of organic certified estate. It's a traditional winery with small number of staff and makes mostly white and dessert wine. I was invited here for a wine tasting evening and the owner of the winery was on hand for the evening. They had put out their entire lineup of white wines and dessert wines. There was plenty of German Tapas on hand to go with the wine. I loved their Weißburgunder and Sekt. I also really liked the dessert wines here. They have some really top class Riesling and Weißburgunder very typical of this area. All in all a fabulous evening and one that I hope to repeat it soon :-)
