🍺 The world works in a funny way.
I have been craving sour/lambic beer all week. Niche I know.
I popped into my local craft beer shop today to see what they had.

I hit the jackpot. Cantillon can be quite hard to get hold of (they hadn’t had it previously when I’ve been in); for me is the benchmark! ❤️

I bought nearly everything they had.

On the 14th July 2021 the Ahr river tore through the valley, flooding villages, destroying bridges, taking lives, decimating homes and businesses.

Yesterday we visited in Rech; a village at the heart of the disaster.
The work that Alexander, his family, and friends have carried out to gradually restore normality is astounding.

As the water (mud and debris) filled the cellar, all Spätburgunder barrels were scrambled and as such, their content’s origin unknown.

Alexander, along with a close friend, H.O. tasted the jumbled barrels with the intention of creating 2 cuvées. Good and Better. Slowly, a third distinctive characteristic emerged and H.O, persuaded Alexander to bottle this separately.

The resulting blends are incredible; true phoenixes.

No better way to support a business that has been through hell and high water than to drink their wines! If of interest, please do drop me a message.
