    Feb 20 2025

  • In Deep With Michael Moosbrugger
    Feb 6 2025

    As our itch for Grüner Veltliner was barely piqued by the two episodes focused upon the US, it's understandable that in order to soothe it that the next step would be to have on DotE one of Austria's greatest proponents of it and its Riesling, the ever-articulate Michael Moosbrugger.

  • Sauvignon Stars
    Jan 8 2025

    Planted worldwide, Sauvignon Blanc is a noble variety though too often made, and therefore recognized, as less than. These three northern hemisphere owner/winemakers are amongst a handful who keenly understand this vibrant white grape so as to coax from it the best their terroirs can offer. France's Loire, Styria shared by Austria and Slovenia, and California's Napa Valley have few peers for fashioning benchmark expressions from an often underachieving grape. This is driven deep by tasting immaculate bottlings from the Tement family dating to 2015 and 2019.
