Beck Pink, 2022, Burgenland, Austria

Way back in 2015, Julia, my partner-in-wine and I had the opportunity to spend about a week at harvest-time with Judith Beck. She, and everyone else, was wonderful. She made sure we got to experience a bit of everything: picking, working in the winery, and I even got to drive the forklift. The forklift! (My […]

M&S Classics Grüner Veltliner Vom Löss, 2023, Austria

It’s Grüner Veltliner. Hence, I wanted to try it. I had been in M&S, doing other shopping, when somehow this caught my eye. Being a bit of a Grüner Veltliner fan, as you may have noticed, I figured I’d try it.  Not like I don’t have a backlog of other wines to review. This got […]

So, one rainy weekend day recently, I trekked all the way down (and later, back up) the one hill in Cambridge. I had a […]
