    I think most sommeliers know that German wine is awesome, so I was honored for them to reach out to me for an ambassadorship. I would be preaching the good word of German wine regardless, but I'm grateful to have a partnership with them.

    That is so true, therefore sometimes i want to open a nice bottle after a long day, i aways make sure to take a long shower and clear up my next day's schedule before open it up, in the end fine juice needs fine timing, cheers!

    Just started putting effort into wine. Tasting and getting a feel for it. Just this week I realized riesling isn't the dry wine that my mother seemed to be obsessed with. Infact, I splurged on an amazing bottle that was sweet and fruity, not powder milk dry. Love your channel, love your vibe!

    It's unfortunate that there are not more opportunities for folx to try expensive wines. A lot of killer wines are cost prohibitive to the average consumer. Jealous of the "GG" tasting, would be a killer opportunity to try that. Any more cost-effective Rieslings on the market that you think have a similar "texture" to the "GG"? I love Au Bon Climat's Pino Gris / Pinot Blanc blend for the malolactic fermentation and the texture it creates. . . . look forward to your less-expensive Riesling suggestions!

    • @slikwines

      I totally get the frustration. It's not until VERY recently that I've gotten opportunities to try high-end wines. I was a wine director for a Michelin-star restaurant and I STILL didn't get a ton of chances to try landmark, baller shit. If anything, I'm hoping this video shows that if you're itching for GG Keller, the Schloss Johannisberg GG is still fantastic even for significantly less. Totally depends on your budget and the occasion but good quality wines, particularly from Germany, aren't always crazy expensive. Keep looking for those decent-priced VDP selections to start!

      @neathwilliams81 Don't worry. Plenty of good GG's out there that cost 1/10th of the Keller. Here in Germany, the average GG (Grand Cru) goes for 30-50€. Just try any wineyard in the Pfalz region if you like a more aromatic dry riesling. You also don't have to go all out GG. Sometimes, the "Erste Lage" wines are the best bang for the buck. (Premiere Cru) 2nd best in the german wine quality pyramid. Personal recommendation of such an "Erste Lage" -> Try to get your hands on Rieslings from the vineyard "Von Winning". The "Reiterspfad Riesling" costs only 20 bucks and is reaaaally good after a few years. It also develops the fine patroleum notes, the older it gets. Best Try anything from 2018-2020. They also have other options but that's my favorite bang for the buck. A little bit more expensive but also great Rieslings that are exported, are from "Robert Weil" from Rheingau. I estimate their Erste Lage and GG's around 30-100€

    Great video...
    I heard you say " new oak "..
    Can you use the casks only ones or can you " clean " or char them and use them again...

    • @slikwines
      @slikwines  Год назад +1

      Great question! You can definitely reuse the new oak barrels but every year you’ll lose a bit of that oaky intensity. Over time they become more neutral tasting, which can also be great but some winemakers prefer the flavor of the oak barrel and replace them sooner.

    Have a few bottles of 2021 Schäfer-Fröhlich Felseneck Riesling GG. For $100 it is an absolutely amazing wine.

    What do you think of natural wines ?
    Some people say the pesticides and other things they spray on the grapes mess with the flavors of the soil it was grown in and makes it all taste the same.

    • @slikwines
      @slikwines  Год назад

      I’ve had many-a conversations with colleagues and consumers alike about natural wines.
      It merits its own video because it’s a complicated convo about farming practices, winemaking practices, marketing, and public perception. There’s nuances to each of those factors and makes it pretty hard to give an elevator pitch for it… but I’ll try 😂
      What do I think of natural wines: Most of my favorite wines are minimally messed with in the field, expertly made in the cellar, and perhaps aren’t always what you stereotypically expect with “natural wines”. With that, I love natural wines :)
