Twitterweinverkostung worth # 10 Weingut Manderschied
What a summer. The World Cup is unfortunately over, but the mega-Weather is continuing and GERMANY leaves glowing coals.
The past two assembly was again # TWV time. The package was delivered this time by the Palatine Chapel Vineyard Manderscheid from Drusweiler. First, we addressed ourselves to a base wine, respectively estate wine of the house, the Chardonnay. The need to drink German Chardonnay, can argue. I'm not personally big fan of them, but try out anyway, and again one, which then usually confirmed my opinion. The waiting
Chardonnay Manderschied find aromas of apricot, pineapple and lemon with a hugely pregnant acid on which to me at one or other sip seemed a bit too hard. Still not a bad wine, but nothing I would have again in the glass. The enthusiasm was limited.
The following Monday, the most expensive wine of the house came into the glasses of the Twitter community. The 2007 Pinot Noir 'S', made from grapes from a 14-year-old vineyard in the situation chapels Rose Garden, built about 15 months in oak barrels. On early call to the winery the manageable number of participants, opened this evening, the wine some hours earlier and cools the wine down a few degrees. Both are very good tips that increased the drinking fun yet. And the
Pälzer Pinot Noir Pinot offered from the start really entertaining movie! The wine is quite dark, which is, according to the winemaker in the French clone, which provides, among other things, very small engbeerige grapes. Smoky, spicy nose of ripe red raspberries and cherries with a hint of forest floor. The beautifully juicy and delicious pork fruit was accompanied by fine tannins. A long final, which called on the basis of the harmonic acidity to continue drinking.
This is the style of German Pinot Noir, which I personally prefer. Balanced, good use of wood, elegant but with the necessary pressure in the luggage and the most important MjammMjamm! One of the few wines
# TWV, of which I've ordered what.

How Much Does It Cost To Build A Database
Ultra Blind Best Bottle Party Vol # 3
It was again time to hold our quarterly meetings of the end event. The appointment last Saturday was chosen in advance with the expectation of being able to see Germany in the quarterfinals. Our hope was quenched.
After a fantastic football - and then afternoon barbecues, we addressed ourselves again eight veiled, red candidates who wanted to ascend the throne of the Best Ultra Blind Bottle.
As before, each of the 4 participants, 2 bottles of wine sent into the race. This time we have not seen in the run, which have brought the others. So everyone knew only by his two wines.
I could post the second victory, südfranzösichen again with a wine that is priced compared to many other participants in a real bargain! It is even after the last placed Pinot Noir, the second-cheapest wine on the field!

Twitterweinverkostung worth 9.2 "Alexandras" 2008 - Sakis Manou
Yesterday evening there was again a team of wine lovers an on Twitter, to taste the second wine from the Greek package of 600bottles .
I must admit that I have the wines of Manousakis, and the namesake of the wine, Alexandra Manousakis, got to know already. Both anything but unpleasant. It was good what's going on yesterday and the atmosphere is also very relaxed. This is also due to the very appealing wine.
The idea of Manousakis, an emigrant to the United States Cretan family was grapes, which are found elsewhere in the Rhone region in their to cultivate native Crete. The dream was then implemented in the early 90s and is now one of the Nostos Winery to the top quality producers in Greece.
The wine is a typical Rhone blend of Syrah, Mourvedre and Grenache that was aged in new and used barrels. The many participants in Roussillon, Minversois, Languedoc or Rhone nose reminiscent entertained us with Mixed Berries dark, smoky, herbal, spicy notes and bitter chocolate. The wine has a sufficiently animated and rather acid-present tannins. In sum, it all makes pretty print, but looks, as long you do not become too warm Alexandra leaves, never broadly and intrusive. The 14% is noticeable only in the effect, not while drinking. Despite a slight 'coarseness' he runs elegantly down the throat and ends in a slightly bitter but very nice final. Hellas!
This is the gateway drug of Manousakis, which gives a first impression, which made for great wines there. I can only lay my heart each time to try the Syrah, which is really awesome stuff!
two really good wines that we could try here from Greece, which have removed many prejudices from the world and leave you wanting more Greek wine. Also, above all because of the good Price - performance ratio.
Antioch!
