Episode 487 of I’ll Drink to That! features winemaker Dominik Sona of Koehler-Ruprecht. Koehler-Ruprecht is a winery located in the Pfalz of Germany.
As a winery, Koehler-Ruprecht marches to the beat of its own drummer. As Dominik Sona says repeatedly in this interview, there is nobody else in the Pfalz doing things as they do. The litany of idiosyncrasies is long, but so is the history of excellent bottles of wine. That is one reason why it is worth hearing more about the approach that K-R takes in the winery. Another is that listening to Sona actually puts the rest of the German wine world into relief. By highlighting what they do that is different from others, Sona also underlines what the norms for German wine really are today. Long aging on the lees, for a year or more, without racking? Sona explains that this was once much more common in the region than it is today. Dry wines made without chaptalization? Sona alludes to how normalized an allowance for adding sugar has become in the German wine community and gives his reasons for rejecting that practice. A new approach in the vineyards? Sona details how important this has become, in light of climate change. If you want to understand the wines of Koehler-Ruprecht better, you should listen to this interview. And if you just want to understand the wines of Germany in general, you should… also listen to this interview. Either way, you will be rewarded.

Fogg Bar volvió a ser la sede y la puerta de entrada a Madrid la pasada semana de las cerveceras artesanas en la Península Ibérica. Tras muchos meses sin poder celebrar Meet The Brewer a causa de la Pandemia de Covid-19, el Foog (Calle Moratín, 3/ Madrid) volvió a vivir una jornada con la cerveza artesana nacional como protagonista.
El evento de presentación protagonizado por Cristina Saez y Andreas Hakansson fue un éxito de participación, con el aforo completo siempre respetando las restricciones que marca la situación actual de la Pandemia.
Saez & Son es una micro con una producción muy pequeña. Presentaron en sociedad sus dos Hazy Ipa, «una Hazy con Son y una Hazy con Sáez», dos cervezas que en opinión de José Blasco, ‘patrón’ del Fogg y organizador de este tipo de eventos que han sido la puerta de entrada en Madrid de un buen número de cerveceras nacionales, » triunfaron ante el público más exigente en cuanto a este tipo de cervezas «Modernas». «El buen ambiente cervecero recordó los buenos tiempos que parece ser, pronto volverán», añadió Blasco.
Con este primer lote de sus cervezas ya agotadas, Saez & Son inician un proyecto que tiene como objetivo asentarse de manera sólida en el mercado local, en Valencia, e ir creciendo poco a poco. A pesar de su pequeña producción, la distribuidora Foggies, vinculada al Fogg y especializada en marcas nacionales de cerveza artesana en Madrid, asegura que trabajará con Saez & Son en los próximos meses.
