19 September 2018 We have begun to publish Michael's reports on this year's presentation of GGs in Wiesbaden, and I also presented notes on some of the special wines to be offered at auction this weekend on which customers of J&B and Howard Ripley can bid through these UK merchants. 

5 August 2018 And the heatwave continues ... Stock up on cool, crystalline, cooling German Rieslings, do.

28 July 2018 In this extremely hot weather, German wines really come into their own. Here's a reminder of our extensive coverage of the latest vintage. We will continue to add reports on this frost-shrunk crop and tasting notes on the wines. In this list the most recently published (or about-to-be-published) articles are at the top.
