Could 2019 be the vintage to make lots of new converts to Germany's delicious dry Rieslings? There are so many reasons to give them a try. They have body, freshness and personality in spades for a start, and are great with food bit.ly/3jtaAx9

As someone who has the pleasure of working constantly with German #wine and many fabulous families behind it, I was really pleased to see @AnneInVino’s excellent book get this well deserved recognition. Hopefully many more will pick it up and read it!

Getting on for three years on, this remains a staggering - and deeply relevant - piece of journalism. Tears through layer after layer to get to the heart of it, and reveals so much. Long story, but that’s the point gq.com/story/dylann-r…

No, it isn’t sweet. (And so what if it were? But that’s for another time...) Here’s why Fritz’s #Riesling from #Gunderloch is the ultimate fast-track passport to the delights of dry German #wine instagram.com/tv/B-t2K_VjuKT…

The debut Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon from Rob & Gen Mann was a wow #wine from me from the word ‘go’. 2018 and yet shimmering, purring purity and impeccable tannin. If you haven’t heard of #Corymbia, hear it here: instagram.com/tv/B-3KBflDE1Z…

You had me at “gouleyant”... I love the World Atlas of #Wine intro paragraph on #Beaujolais - and @DominiquePiron’s Beaujolais-Villages captures that charm & vitality equally eloquently. Watch for a little more detail: instagram.com/tv/B_EN6fEjB_m…

A tale of tension: Ansgar Clüsserath Vom Schiefer #Riesling - pure, dry and with lovely balance at 11% alcohol. How does Eva do it? Mosel magic and natural ability on show... instagram.com/p/B_R09_EDtOM/

Schieferterrassen - Ode to #Wine: Challenging to put into words the way this Heymann-Löwenstein #Riesling melds metaphysics, art, nature & intuition. But here’s my attempt to convey its spell: instagram.com/tv/B_jxnhaDR0z…

Handy material to help puzzle that one out: 2014 Ansgar Clüsserath ‘Trittenheimer Apotheke’ Kabinett; 2017 Georg Breuer ‘Berg Schlossberg’; 2018 Dönnhoff ‘Hermannshöhle’ GG; 2018 Wittmann ‘Morstein’GG; 2016 Heymann-Löwenstein ‘Uhlen Blaufüsser Lay’ GG...

“Why is it that every time I sit around a table of somms, importers or winemakers, it’s the #Riesling bottle that’s always finished first?" asks Travis Howe @CarltonWineRoom. This 12-person dinner & these wines will answer that question next Tuesday: cellarhand.com.au/events/rieslin…

I just set down the words, innocently & sincerely, “The onus is on us.”
Odd that its neatness had never before occurred to me.
