VLOG TASTING - Rheingau Wines

Yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo!  I'm back from Germany and decided to do a vlog wine review doubleheader of wines I tasted there!  Here is the scoop about 2 Rheingau wines.  The Rheingau is the prestigious region for Riesling along the Rhein in Germany.  There is one other major prestigious Riesling area along another river called the Mosel.

 

The wine list!
The 2 wines were the 2014 Ruedesheimer Drachenstein Riesling, and the 2015 Ruedesheimer Burgweg Spaetburgunder (I THINK, It could've been the dornfelder it was a little confusing what the lady was pouring).  In the videos I was slightly confused which ones they were exactly from memory so don't pay attention to the fact that I talk about different wines.  The above should be correct.

Below is a little bit of first-hand experience about what the area looked like around Ruedesheim:



And now I will just post the videos and let you make a judgment on the wines yourself.  I think there is something about trying the wine in the place it comes from that makes you not want to critically review, but rather just enjoy it.
