Daniel Immich makes wine at Immich-Anker in Enkirch, in the Mosel Valley of Germany. Here’s a link to see where that is.
He was visiting Portland, and kindly agreed to do a show with us! His family has been making wine in Enkirch since the 1400’s, and he shares some information about a historic vineyard and a unique wine he’s making with our local friends and importers, the Teutonic Wine Company. They import his wine to the USA, so contact them if you’d like to pick some up. On the show, we taste the 2009 Riesling Sekt Brut, the 2011 Eisbruch Riesling Trocken, and the unlreleased “Bridge Wine”.
Have you ever visited the Mosel Valley?
Episode 170: Excellent Pink Wine
February 25, 2013
Dan picked out a couple of bottles of Pinot Noir based rose wine for this week’s show. Both had been good in the past, and both showed brilliantly when tasted this time. Both come from unique vineyards and represent some really original wine growing and wine making. Wines like this are a big reason that Oregon is such an exciting place to explore. They also show that Pinot Noir can deliver great things in unconventional wines as well as traditional ones. We taste the 2011 Teutonic Wine Company Brut Rose from the Wahlstrom Vineyard, and the 2011 Analemma Columbia Gorge Rose.

Episode 128: The Search For The Great American Riesling 12
April 29, 2012
As I was writing this up, I realized that it’s been over a year since we’ve done an American Riesling show. Wow! That’s way too long! We’ve got two Rieslings from Oregon today that we wanted to share on the show. They do a good job of highlighting a couple of different styles. We taste the 2009 Methven Willamette Valley Riesling and the 2011 Teutonic Wine Company Crow Valley Vineyard Riesling.

Episode 111: 2012 New Year with Oregon Pinot Noir
January 2, 2012
Instead of traditional celebratory wine for New Year’s Day, this year we decided to take a look at two local Pinot Noir producers. We want to really heighten our focus on wines from the Pacific North West this year, so there’s no better time to start than day 1! We taste the 2010 Ayers Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and the 2010 Teutonic Wine Company Laurel Vineyard Pinot Noir.
For today’s question, just name an Oregon Pinot Noir producer you’d like to see us check out on the show, and we’ll do it. Thanks for a great 2011!
Episode 67: The Search For The Great American Riesling 9
December 12, 2010
After few episodes away from it we’ve come back to American Riesling. I’ve tasted a couple that I enjoyed out in local tasting rooms and I came across a bottle that I’ve been meaning to try for a while now. While putting the label photos together I realized that I mis-read the Schöne Schlucht label and as a result we totally butcher another non-English name. -fail- I should be taking a German class this winter though so that will hopefully help in the future. For this show we taste the 2009 Schöne Schlucht mit Weingut Ackermann Willamette Valley Riesling the 2007 Silo Vino Riesling and the 2009 Elk Cove Vineyards Willamette Valley Late Harvest Riesling.
