• The Must-Visit Wine Region Full of Surprises

  

  I spent my first afternoon in Pfalz strolling through the quaint village of Deidesheim. It is classic Germany – story book houses, window boxes overflowing with colorful flowers, and a welcoming fountain surrounded by cafes in the town square. As this was my first visit to a German wine region, I assumed I would be…

• Get to Know German Riesling

  

  Riesling is one of the world’s greatest wine grapes. It is a versatile grape, capable of producing a variety of wine styles from different regions throughout the world.

• #Food & #Wine Pairing: A Cross-Cultural Pairing

  

  As much as I enjoy pairing wine with cuisine from the same region (what grows together, goes together), I also have fun exploring wine and food pairings from around the world. Stretching beyond the same region opens up a world of opportunities, only limited by the imagination. So let’s get creative and pair traditional German…

• Exploring Wine making Choices with #MWWC

  

  Our lives are filled with choices. Do you chose to drink coffee or tea in the morning? If coffee do you chose to drink it with cream and sugar or black? What toppings do you chose to put on pizza? Do you chose action thriller movies or romantic comedies? Chances are if we were aware…
