Carp, the fish, live in Mosel River, but Karp, the Riesling, is grown on the steep slopes of the Mosel. This off dry wine for $21 is an enjoyable white that pairs with a lot of different food.
My journey to complete my WSET level 2 and my WSET 3 certifications was populated with many tastings and bottles of fine wine. In the older posts, read about my journey in this blog that featured wines in both of the courses. Now that I have completed my WSET 3, I now use this as a place to review and talk about different wines that I am currently drinking as well as wineries that I visit in my new role as a private Wine Tour Guide.

This time we follow the Rhone Ranger to the Southern Rhone Valley of France for a tasty M. Chapoutier red blend. Belleruche is a great wine for pairing with many different foods and is also excellent on its own!
This time we taste a 2019 Gerard Bertrand blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre from Corbières, in the South of France. GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre) wines are known for their fruity aromas and taste, as well as dried sage, pepper and herbs. Does this wine fit the profile?
The wine is name An 806 for the first known year of the Castle of Peyrepertuse which was a hermitage of the Cathar Knights.
This time we try a delicious 2018 Era Costana Rioja Reserva from Spain made with Tempranillo and perfect with a variety of food.
