  • How to Buy Eiswein Dessert Wine
    How to Buy Eiswein Dessert Wine Eiswein is a sweet dessert wine that originated in Germany. This "late harvest" wine is traditionally pressed from grapes that are harvested after they freeze on the vine. "Eiswein" literally means "ice wine," and is called so on some labels. If you want to buy eiswein, know the country and the method that produced the bottle to find the best available "ice wine" for your budget. Does this Spark an idea? Instructions 1. o 1 Locate a local wine store or look on line for wine sellers who carry eiswein. o 2 Look for a bottle that fits your price range. German and Austrian Eisweins, which follow established methods of harvest and production, are the European gold standard. However, many less expensive, but still excellent, ice wines come from Austria, New Zealand, Slovenia, Canada and the United States. Not all producers let grapes freeze naturally before harvesting them at night. This time-honored and labor-intensive method of production, as well as the loss of all but a few drops of juice, explains the higher price of traditionally produced ice wine. Some vintners pick the grapes and then artificially freeze them before pressing. Manage Cellar, Share Tasting Notes Free, powerful, and easy to use! o 3 Pick a colorful and fragrant bouquet. Eiswein is distinguished by the contrast between its fragrant sweetness and acidity. A great eiswein is both rich and fresh. Young eisweins have tropical fruit, peach or berry overtones. Older eisweins suggest caramel or honey. Colors can range from white to rose.

Subsequent forecasts also indicated a high risk of flooding for the Meuse River basin, affecting Belgium. The magnitude of the floods forecasted for the Rhine River basin increased significantly in this period. The first EFAS notifications were sent to the relevant national authorities starting on 10 July and, with the continuously updated forecasts, more than 25 notifications were sent for specific regions of the Rhine and Meuse River basins in the following days until 14 July. Figure: EFAS flood forecast from 12.07.2021 00:00 UTC Providing early and current maps of flooded areas On 13 July, the CEMS Rapid Mapping component was activated to map the ongoing floods in parts of Western Germany (EMSR517 Mapping Website , EMSR517 Activation Viewer). As a flood peak was foreseen on 16 July for segments of other rivers, CEMS preemptively acquired satellite images of the vulnerable area through Pre-Tasking on 14 July. These early images informed ensuing activations by the CEMS Rapid Mapping component based on the EFAS forecasts for areas in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and France.

  • Spätburgunder, Baden, Germany *Pinot Noir - Rare & Amazing German Gem for Pinotphiles
    Retail Savings $32.99 $54.00 39% 2013 Claus Schneider Weiler Schlipf product-timed-pdf - Spätburgunder, Baden, Germany *Pinot Noir - Rare & Amazing German Gem for Pinotphiles Why We're Drinking It For those who love classic Pinot Noir and those who mistakenly believe all German wine to be white—and sweet. This James ‘Special Selection’ discovery hails from Germany’s southern spa region of Baden, where Pinot Noir has been grown perhaps even longer than in Burgundy and with equally electrifying results! Burgundy lovers will applaud this premium German Pinot, grown in Baden’s most heralded escarpment Weiler Schlipf. The terroir here is rich in clay and limestone, and ideal for Pinot Noir of exceptional purity and verve. Schneider’s ‘CS’ refers to the proprietor’s initials and signifies the reserve wine from this estate. As such, grapes are picked later when riper compared with Schneider’s regular Spatburgunder, and the wine is treated to a touch more aging in barrique. Never filtered, this wine is bottled with all of its character and complexity intact, and is a stylish, sleek Pinot Noir that left our Tasting Panel breathless. Weiler Schlipf is pretty much the most southernmost vineyard in all of Germany and luckily for all of us, it is in the hands of a master winemaker. This is for Pinot fans of all stripes and any red wine drinker looking to broaden their palates and horizons. Reasons why we love it: Pinot Noir is known as Spatburgunder in Germany, and it is grown in all of Germany’s 13 wine regions.

  • Berlin, 18. August 2021 Extent of Damage on the Night from 14Th To
    Berlin, 18. August 2021 Extent of damage On the night from 14th to 15th July, heavy rain resulted in quickly rising water levels of a number of smaller rivers, e.g., the rivers Ahr and Erft, in the federal states of Rheinland-Pfalz and Nordrhein-Westphalen. Many villages and smaller towns situated at these rivers experienced flooding which surpassed the expected extreme high-water events (likelihood of once in 100-200 years). The floods caused massive damages to buildings, streets, but also vegetation alongside these rivers. In addition, many more houses experienced flooding of the basement and ground floor. Only for the Ahr valley alone, it is estimated that 17,000 people have lost their homes; 133 people have died and 766 were hurt (as reported by SWR on 13 August 20211). Since the catastrophe response is organised on the municipal and federal level, it will take more time to arrive at general numbers encompassing all the districts in both federal states. With regard to damages to cultural property, the extent is still unclear as not one organisation or official institution is tasked to gather this information, including Blue Shield. We can say that the full spectrum of cultural property has been hit: archives, museums, libraries and monuments & sites (including churches). The last group is expected to show the worst damage as they could not be evacuated and are more susceptible to the second wave of damage, i.e., through demolitions or simply bad repairs. With this many livelihoods having been lost and insurance companies being more interested in saving costs (building new houses), privately owned monuments face a high risk of disappearing.
