I am working on the next podcast/vidcast, but because it is so visually intensive (how else to really help explain wine labels) it’s taking a bit longer than I expected.

I felt like recording a short vidcast this evening. Here it is!
Wine Vidcast 4: Two German Rieslings
German wines are wonderful, but the entire topic can be, well, hard to learn. The ancient looking wine labels, hard-to-pronounce German names (hard for some of us, anyway), and words like “kabinett” or “trockenbeerenauslese” can send the faint-of-heart running toward a bottle of Chardonnay. If this is you, it’s time to screw your courage to your sticking place and learn about German Rieslings. In this video, we take the entire subject and break it down into small morsels, and then focus on just two of the many styles. If you learn them one or two at a time, you’ll be an expert before you know it. Enjoy, and please let me know what you think by leaving a comment!
