thomas vogelbacher
German and thus loves his German Rieslings in every style. Also in love with everything French and Austrian. Has a complicated relationship with CA-wine. Admits that red wines can be great, whites are too expensive for the quality. Prefers mineral and elegant wines over fruit-bombs. Over all, preferred US wine region Oregon.

2006 Rubicon Estate "Rubicon" Rutherford Red Blend
(out of stock)
Review Date: 11-26-2010
Had it yesterday with Turkey and after decanting it for 1 hour, it was fabulous. You definitively want to decant this wine...
Price: $119.00
2009 Morgan Monterey County Sauvignon Blanc
(out of stock)
Review Date: 11-15-2010
plain and simple Sauvignon Blanc. Slight hint of Newzealand, but the original is better than this "copy". Not very complex either. I guess there are plenty better SB in Cali such as Cliff Lede, Merry Edwards, Grgich and Tangent among others.
Price: $10.99
2007 Cliff Lede Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon
(out of stock)
Review Date: 10-22-2010
Too alcoholic for my taste. Kind of burned. In my opinion too expensive for what`s in the bottle. At the winery, they sell it for 60 USD
Price: $56.99
2009 Cliff Lede Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
(out of stock)
Review Date: 10-22-2010
Might be the best Ca SB. Not too acidic, beautifully balanced and well-priced for the quality. Brilliant.
Price: $21.99
2006 Ladera Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
(out of stock)
Review Date: 10-22-2010
Ladera had a tasting yesterday at K and L, I thought this was an absolute winner. Already drinkable now, it might further improve with age. One of the best Napa Cab I have ever tasted. Tasting notes from WS are correct.
Price: $59.99
2007 Ridge Vineyards "Pagani Ranch" Sonoma Zinfandel
(out of stock)
Review Date: 10-19-2010
had it yesterday along with 4 other Ridge Zins. Liked it the least due to high alcohol. If I remember correctly, ABV was around 15%. Finish was a bit too sweet. Other than that, a still decent red from my favorite CA-producer Ridge.
Price: $31.99
2007 Ridge Vineyards "Lytton Springs" Dry Creek Zinfandel
(out of stock)
Review Date: 10-19-2010
Had it yesterday at a tasting. Good balance, clean fruit, not overwhelming and not too powerful. A typical Ridge Zin. Good quality for a relatively decent price.
Price: $29.99
2008 Blason Friulano
(out of stock)
Review Date: 9-27-2010
K and L should check out other producers in Friuli. Blason is not considered to be one of the best there. I thought the wine was pretty mediocre and unremarkable. On the other hand, there aren`t many Friulanos for 10 USD, so it might be a decent first Friulano for those who are not familiar with them.
Price: $6.99
2009 Mönchhof Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett
(out of stock)
Review Date: 9-23-2010
OMG, so super refreshing and spritzy. Love it, great with Asian food or just by its own. A steal at that price.
Price: $17.99
2008 Quinta da Aveleda Vinho Verde
(out of stock)
Review Date: 9-23-2010
served it for women who usually do not like white wine. They loved it for being not complicated, deep and that is what I expect from a wine at a party. Alvarinhos are not critics` darling, but soo tasty and refreshing, yummy
Price: $8.99
2008 Louis M. Martini Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon
(out of stock)
Review Date: 9-23-2010
pleasant Tuesday-night red table wine. Had it with Lamb and it was just a decent tasty wine without being sensational. Bravo for 12 bucks.
Price: $11.99
2008 Domaine J-M Brocard Chablis Vieilles Vignes Sainte Claire
(out of stock)
Review Date: 9-23-2010
really liked its minerality, very food-friendly. Cork unfortunately not easy to remove and sharp decline (oxidation?) after 2 days in fridge. First day though was brilliant.
Price: $24.99
2008 Ramey Russian River Chardonnay
(out of stock)
Review Date: 9-23-2010
Sorry, I do not get California Chardonnay. At most, it is pleasant, if a bit tart. Drinking pleasure was higher with 7 USD-Bernier. I was wondering, what do you pair it with? For 37 bucks, I rather enjoy 2 bottles of Chablis or Kumeu from NZL.
Price: $36.99
2008 Meulenhof Erdener Treppchen Riesling Kabinett
(out of stock)
Review Date: 8-11-2010
not too sweet, very balanced, very fresh taste, was excellent with food and without. A very typical Mosel Kabinett. Drink now.
Price: $12.99
