“Paolo Scavino”
 
…Barolo bounces back with a stellar vintage in 2019 that could very well represent the beginning of a new cycle of strong, outstanding years for this historic appellation. The 2019s are potent, tightly wound wines that will thrill readers who appreciate the nuance, subtlety, and structure of Nebbiolo. Today, the 2019s show elements that, at times, recall vintages such as 2016, 2005, and 1995.

Special Feature
The Wines of Müller-Catoir
 
The German Wine You’re Missing
 

One of my all-time favorite German wineries has got to be Müller-Catoir. It’s no secret that the Pfalz is Germany’s premier location for the production of dry riesling, but it’s a little known fact that it’s also the sanctuary of some of the best non-riesling whites in all of Europe.

Last Thanksgiving I brought home a bottle of  the 2020 Burgergarten Trocken Muskateller to share with my family and the diverse foods we were going to have on the table.
