Philippe Dandurand Wines (agent) invited Reh Kendermann's winemaker Philipp Maurer to Toronto to lead an experience of German wine with food. Many think of Riesling as a sweet sipping wine and it's unfortunate that the only food most people think of is oriental, when Riesling pairs with so many other dishes.
Many will find themselves scratching their heads wondering who Reh Kendermann is and what wines they make. Little do you know that you've probably experienced Reh's wines more than once in your lifetime ... Black Tower should ring bells with many of you, so yeah Reh has quietly been a part of your drinking past for many years, and now part of your future if you'll let him back into your hearts.

I was doing a little house cleaning this morning when I discovered some tasting notes from a dinner I attended back in November of 2010 at the University Club of Toronto in the Big Smoke ... it was a wine tasting and dinner around a wine project out of Portugal called Duorum. Duorum, according to the info I have sitting in front of me is a `joint project between two of Portugal`s best known oenologists: Joao Portugal Ramos and Jose Maria Soares Franco`. It looks like I found dinner passable but I found the wines to be much more than that with 4 of them garnering four-and-a-half star ratings ... so instead of just letting these wines languish on my desk I thought I would share them with you, and if you see the Duorum label and have opportunity to buy these wines I would snap them up.
