Hello, Wine World 🍷

Welcome to Spill the Wine, Tobi!

This is my very first post - and I’ll be honest, I’m both a little nervous and very excited to finally hit publish.

My name’s Tobias, I’m 23, and I originate from the heart of one of Germany’s most beautiful wine regions: the Pfalz, right along the Deutsche Weinstraße. Wine has always kind of been around me - vineyards at every corner, seasonal wine festivals, the smell of freshly harvested grapes in the air - but only recently have I started to really see it. Understand it. And most of all: taste it with intention.

This blog is my way of documenting that journey.

I’m not a sommelier. I’m not an expert (yet 😉).

I’m just someone who’s fallen in love with the world of wine and wants to share the ride - from confused sips and “huh, that’s grassy?” moments to the first time I actually understood what “minerality” is.

What You Can Expect

This won’t be one of those stiff, textbook-style wine blogs. Spill the Wine, Tobi is personal, messy, curious, and sometimes a bit too honest. I’ll be writing about:

• Wine tastings and my (hopefully improving) tasting notes
• Facts, tips, and the random things I learn along the way
• Wine regions, grape varieties, trends, and tools
• Stories from winery visits and vineyard wanderings
• Occasional hot takes, questionable food pairings, and wine fails

There’s no strict plan here - just a commitment to explore, learn, and share what I find in a way that’s fun and hopefully a little inspiring.

Why “Spill the Wine”?

Because sometimes, you spill a little wine - and that’s okay.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about experience, discovery, and enjoying the process. Whether you’re a total beginner, a curious drinker, or someone who just likes wine memes and a solid Sauvignon Blanc, I hope you’ll feel at home here.

Pour yourself a glass (or a tea, no pressure), and get ready - because this is just the beginning.

Cheers to new adventures,

Tobi 🍷
