A wine from Slovakia. I’m pretty sure I’ve never had one before. And it’s got Grüner Veltliner in it! So when Ben from King Street Cellar suggested I give it a go, who was I to argue? In the glass A medium to deep gold, rather than yellow. It’s an intriguingly dark wine. Enticing, I’d […]

Dr. Pauly-Bergweiler Riesling Trocken 2021, Germany
