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. My next stop on my journey was doing my own wine tours in the Okanagan for 6 years. Now I'm retired (again) and just drinking - and tasting - wine! Join me as we taste a new wine every couple of weeks!

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!

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 white wine blend from the Douro Valley is a bargain at just $15 - but how does it taste? Check out the video!
This wine is a 2021 Casa Ferrierinha Planalto Douro Reserve
Bread and Butter winery is famous for their Chardonnay, but they also make Pinot Noir. Is this a simple or complex Pinot?
This time we try a red 'green' wine - a vinho verde - from Portugal - a 2021 Quinta da Lixa Escolha. For $17, this light, refreshing red is hard to beat! After watching this video, why not book your summer wine tour of the Okanagan by clicking here!
