Two Bottles Gaël Petit

We are drinking two wines from the south of France by Gaël Petit: a Tavel Les Falaises de Braise Rosé 2022 and a Lirac Edmee 75 Helene 25 from 2020.

Two bottles of wine from the Seehaldenhof winery stand on a wooden table. Behind them are a wine glass and a stack of books.

Three Bottles Wechsler

Three bottles of wine from Weingut Wechsler stand on a wooden table. The labels are simple, with black lettering and a few splashes of color. In front of them lies a cork next to a waiter's knife, behind them stands a wine glass and a stack of books.

Thematically matching the recent Maxime Open, we are drinking three bottles from Wechsler Winery in Rheinhessen: a Fehlfarben Scheurebe 2023, a Sexy MF Pinot Rosé 2022, and a Silvaner Alte Reben from 2021.

Maxime Open 2025

The view from the vineyards over Saulheim in Rheinhessen. Vineyards in the foreground and background, with a few houses in between.

We were once again out and about in Rheinhessen and, at the Maxime Open 2025, this time around Saulheim, sampled wines across the entire region.
