    They definitely look like Materna to me.

     I have had older vintages from both the Vatican and Marbuzet. 09 is generally considered a good vintage, so any mid-tier producer should be fine. Concerning Buhl: If you have access to Von Winning, I would recommend buying their Ungeheuer (mid range) and Jesuitengarten (GG=pricey) instead...

     Domäne Wachau has some pretty awesome stuff in their higher price lineup. Good for larger groups, because many people like them, yet they still keep on the elegant and itneresting side of the drinking spectrum. I would take the Cuvée du Vatican R. and the Marbuzet. What I am drinking...

     I was about to rephrase, but then figured "what the heck".

     In this case, yes ;)

     15€ is a steal for this wine. I'd recommend storing the second bottle for at least four more years. Why should horizontal storage be more practical. I am storing a large amount of my screwcap wines vertically in a DIN heavy duty racking system. Five bottles in a row, ten to twelve rows...

     Good choice! St. Anthony also has a good version of a Pettenthal Riesling which is very accessible right now. They have started replacing some of their Riesling vines in Pettenthal with Pinot Noir because the climate has changed so much there within the last few years. BTW, the current...

     If I am not totally mistaken, the study I was referring to is more recent than the one on Champagne storage. I think one of the last two issues of Vinum had a piece about it in their first few pages.

    The Official Wine Thread

     Bit late to the party, but I think a study initiated by the FH Geisenheim recently stated that, all things considered, storing bottles cork up is actually better for the product. I am not sure whether I want to believe this, though. That, of course, is mainly due to my bottles all being...

     As an entrance into white Burgundy as well as for their price-value ratio, I'd highly recommend Fichet. Their Bourgogne Blanc is good, the BB Vieilles Vignes is even better. Fichet's Auxey-Duresse is insanely cheap for what it delivers (depending on the vintage). Dublere also has a good...

     I agree with you on the Abtserde. The Karthäuserhof should have been good, too.

     Haha! Kidding aside, I could organise a small run of minimally lined threefold ties made of the vibrant green tweed in the photo.

    I had a 2010 Abtei Weiss, Muri-Gries from Alto Adige tonight. Very good, but years too young. A nice belnd of 70/30 Pinot Bianco/Pinot Grigio, aged for 16 Months in 500l barrels. Good minerality, although lacking a bit of acid.
