Three Bottles Sekthandwerk Hotz

Two bottles of Sekt from Sekthandwerk Hotz stand on a wooden table. In the background you can see a wine glass and a stack of books. A cork lies in front of the bottles.

This week we're drinking three Sekt from the Markgräflerland in Baden. From Hotz Sekthandwerk we taste a Blanc de Noirs Brut 2022, a Chardonnay Brut 2023 and an Auggener Letten Steingrube 2022.

Two Bottles Fürst

On a wooden table stand two bottles of wine from Weingut Fürst. In the background, a wine glass and a stack of books are visible. In front of the bottles, the corks lie beside the waiter's corkscrew.

This week we're drinking two Spätburgunder from Franken from Weingut Fürst: a Bürgstadter Ortswein 2023 and an Erste Lage Bürgstadter Berg 2022.
