The Riedel/Grassl and Zalto partnership – March 2022

Steen Öhman
March 11, 2022

“I, Winehog, take thee, Riedel/Zalto/Grassl, to be my wedded stemware, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health … ” Be that as it may, we do tend to update our preferences, and Grassl is new in my line-up. This is…

Winehog Advice: Serving the 2018s

Steen Öhman
May 4, 2020

The 2018s are a crazy bunch of rather generous, rich wines, most – if not all – on the slightly hot side. It is therefore relevant to look at their optimal serving temperatures, as the wines sometimes lack a bit of freshness and acidity. Furthermore, some wines tend to over-ripeness, and they will generally benefit…

Visit Domaine Grivot – initial impressions of the 2015s

Steen Öhman
August 8, 2016

I have followed Domaine Grivot over the last 10 to 15 years and been very impressed by the progress since 2007. The quality has improved significantly every year, and the style has changed to a more refined and terroir driven expression of pinot. The 2014s were magnificent, and I was therefore delighted when I had…

Stemware Clash .. Round 2 .. Riedel x 2, Zalto and Lehmann

Steen Öhman
April 26, 2015

Testing and evaluating stemware is a complex process, as the wine often changes over time after the initial sip .. it changes in the glass and also in the bottle. I reality you might think that one glass is best initially, but as the wine develops in the bottle … with air and temperature ……
