    Persil und Petticoat. Köln von 1949 bis 1959
    Fred Jaeger (1918-1999) lebte und arbeitete als freier Bildreporter in Köln. Vor allem in den 1950er Jahren fotografierte er bei gesellschaftlichen Anlässen und bedeutenden Ereignissen in seiner Heimatstadt. Er dokumentierte Kinopremieren und den Katholikentag, Modeschauen und Sportveranstaltungen, lichtete zahlreiche Prominente ab und fing das Treiben auf der Straße ein. Er hielt herrliche Szenen im Karneval ebenso fest wie die Atmosphäre in den Kellerbars. Aus einem Hubschrauber gelangen ihm spektakuläre Ansichten des Doms. Eva Neubert und Britta Schmitz sichteten für diesen Bildband das rund 85.000 Negative, Vintages und Kontakte umfassende Archiv des Fotografen. Ihre Auswahl bietet hinreißende Einblicke in Alltag, Stimmung und Zeitgeist dieser Ära: entfesselte Feste und ausgelassene Bälle, schicke Mode und auf Hochglanz polierte Autos, Filmbegeisterung und Kaufinteresse. Die Bilder erzählen von der wieder erblühten Lebenslust der Kölner und ihrer Sehnsucht nach Abwechslung: Ein Jahrzehnt Köln erwacht zum Leben.

    2017 Château Malescot Saint Exupéry Château Malescot St. Exupery Margaux 6HK
    Eleganz & Power müssen sich nicht ausschließen. Der beste Beweis ist Malescot-St.-Éxupery 2017. Er beweist, was dieses Jahr in Margaux alles möglich ist: konsistent und massiv am Gaumen, vielfruchtig, saftig mit einer wunderbaren Stoffigkeit und angenehmen Mineralität. Wir sind überwältigt von seinen Muskeln - ein klassischer Bordeaux, der ein langes, aufregendes Leben verspricht! (93-95 Punkte) Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 91-93/100 Punkte  "Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Malescot St. Exupery is scented of crushed red and black cherries, warm plums and mulberries with touches of roses and wood smoke. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of vibrant red and black fruits and soft, plush tannins, with a long, perfumed finish."  James Suckling 94/100 Punkte "A fantastic 2017 from Margaux with a deep and ripe core of fruit in the center palate. Silky and juicy tannins. Full body, plenty of fruit and a long, flavorful finish."  Wine Spectator 90-93/100 Punkte "A breezy and fresh style, with pretty damson plum and cherry fruit lined with high-pitched floral and savory notes. Elegant mineral details run through the silky finish. Pure and graceful, showing sneaky length."  Vinous (Neal Martin): 91-93/100 Punkte "The 2017 Malescot St. Exupéry has a simpler bouquet than recent vintages with high-toned red cherry and raspberry fruit, quite "warm" compared to its peers and it would benefit from a little more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. It is not a complex Malescot St. Exupéry but I admire the balance and focus. There is plenty of tightly wound red berry fruit laced with cedar and smoke, quite finessed towards the finish with a long spicy aftertaste. I would just like the aromatics to step up to the grade of the palate, so let's see how this shows once in bottle. Trinkreife: 2022-2040"   Wine Enthusiast: 92/100 Punkte "Barrel Sample. This is a fruit-driven wine, packed with a strong black-currant character and bright acidity. The tannins are light, though they lend ample structure for medium-term aging. It is more about freshness and attractive fruit. Drink from 2023."  Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

    2017 Château Ormes de Pez tbd
    Ein weiterer hoch interessanter Saint-Éstèphe in einer noch interessanteren Preisklasse! Unter der Regie von J. M. Cazes wird der Cru Bourgeois von Jahr zu Jahr immer besser. Da stört auch ein vergleichsweise schwieriges Jahr nicht! James Suckling: 92/100 Punkte "The density for the vintage is impressive with dark-berry and cherry character. Medium to full body, velvety tannins and a fresh and bright finish. Linear and driven."  Wine Spectator 88-91/100 Punkte "Open-knit, with a core of plum and cherry fruit carried by light cedar, tobacco and warm stone notes. Shows a light smoky echo at the end." Wine Enthusiast 93/100 Punkte  "Barrel Sample. This finely structured wine is balanced with nothing in excess offering attractive acidity and a light touch of tannin. It is fruity, bright and developing quickly. Drink from 2023." Decanter 92/100 Punkte "Ormes has managed another good vintage after a run of them. This is a lovely wine and a buy for me. Succulent, bristling and charming, it has juicy brambled fruit extraction and tension. It doesn't take itself too seriously, just asking to be loved. The fruit spectrum is rich with blueberries and damsons, with integrity and a swirl of vanilla bean oak. Includes 6% Cabernet Franc in the blend. No need to wait too long for this. 45% new oak. Drinking Window 2022 – 2035" Vinous (Neal Martin): 91-93/100 Punkte "The 2017 Les Ormes de Pez was matured in 45% new oak with 13.42% alcohol. None of the vines were touched by frost. Cropped at round 50hl/ha, it has a clean, pure red cherry, blackcurrant and cedar-scented bouquet, more Pauillac in style than Saint-Estèphe. The palate is well balanced with ripe tannin that feel more malleable than previous vintages at this stage, a little saline in the mouth with a silky smooth finish. This will be delicious over the next couple of decades and I suspect it will be more approachable than the 2016. Don't ignore this. Trinkreife: 2021-2036" Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

    The Rothschilds: A Family Portrait , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 676min
    A National Book Award finalist from best-selling author Frederic Morton  No family in the past two centuries has been as constantly at the center of Europe's great events, has featured such varied and spectacular personalities, has had anything close to the wealth of the Rothschilds. To this day they remain one of the most powerful and wealthy families in the world.In Frederic Morton's classic tale, the family is brought vividly to life. Here you'll meet Mayer, longtime adviser to Germany's princes, who broke through the barriers of a Frankfurt ghetto and placed his family on the road to wealth and power; Lord Alfred, who maintained a private train, private orchestra (which he conducted), and private circus (of which he was ringmaster); Baron Philippe, whose rarefied vintages bear labels that were created by great artists, among them Picasso, Dali, and Haring; and Kathleen Nica Rothschild de Koenigswarter, the "jazz baroness", in whose arms Charlie Parker died.The family itself has been at the center of some of the most crucial moments in history: the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo, the development of the Suez Canal, the introduction of Jews in the House of Lords. Through it all, the Rothschild name has continued to represent the family ideal, and no author has so nimbly captured the eccentric brilliance of blood as Frederic Morton. ungekürzt.

    2018 Château Pedesclaux 5. GRAND CRU CLASSÉ PAUILLAC A.C.
    James Suckling: 94-95/100 Punkte »Very long and straight with a beautiful, fine line of ripe and compressed tannins. Medium-to full-bodied and tight and fresh on the finish. Beautiful cabernet sauvignon is driving this one.« Falstaff: 94/100 Punkte »Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feiner floraler Touch, dunkle Beeren, ein Hauch von Cassis, dezente Kräuterwürze, Orangenzesten. Saftig, angenehme Extraktsüße, elegant, frisch strukturiert, mineralisch-saliner Nachhall, schwarze Kirschen im Nachhall, gutes Potenzial.«  Decanter: 93/100 Punkte »These guys have really started to make an impact on Pauillac's landscape over the past few vintages and do so again here. It’s not quite up to the brilliant delivery of 2016, but this is firm, vibrant, bright and full of promise with tannins that layer up slowly and stealthily then present you with a cheque. There is clear austerity on the attack but then it opens up to show purity and precision of the fruit, with a sweetness to the berries making it seem likely that seven or eight years will be plenty before this is limbered and ready to go. Drinking Window 2025 - 2038«  Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 92-94/100 Punkte »Pédesclaux was purchased in late 2009 by real estate mogul, Jacky Lorenzetti. In addition to the purchase of Pédesclaux and its 26 hectares of vineyards, Lorenzetti was also able to acquire an additional 12 hectares of vineyards planted at 10,000 vines per hectare that sit atop the Milon plateau (their rows are interspersed with those of Mouton and Lafite). The total vineyard acreage in 2018 was 49.7 hectares with an average vine age of 35 years. The soils are typically gravelly atop a clay subsoil. It will spend an estimated 16 months on the lees in barrels, 60% new and 40% second year. The blend is 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, and it has 13.96% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Pedesclaux comes charging out of the gate with rambunctious baked plums, warm cassis and Morello cherries scents plus hints of spice cake, menthol and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating black fruits and spicy accents, with a soft, fine-grained frame, finishing long.« Wine Spectator: 89-92/100 Punkte »On the lighter side, but fresh and focused, featuring cassis and bitter cherry notes, lined with subtle iron and floral hints. The finish is tightly focused.« Vinum: 17/20 Punkte »Voller, saftiger Bau, Klassetannin, gute Länge, fruchtiges Finale von Beerengelee; macht Spass. 2026 bis 2035«  Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

    Super Crunchers: Why Thinking-by-Numbers Is the New Way to Be Smart, Hörbuch, Digital, 376min
    Why would a casino try and stop you from losing? How can a mathematical formula find your future spouse? Would you know if a statistical analysis blackballed you from a job you wanted? Today, number crunching affects your life in ways you might never imagine. In this lively and groundbreaking new audiobook, economist Ian Ayres shows how today's best and brightest organizations are analyzing massive databases at lightening speed to provide greater insights into human behavior. They are the Super Crunchers. From Internet sites like Google and Amazon that know your tastes better than you do, to a physician's diagnosis and your child's education, to boardrooms and government agencies, this new breed of decision maker is calling the shots. And they are delivering staggeringly accurate results. How can a football coach evaluate a player without ever seeing him play? Want to know whether the price of an airline ticket will go up or down before you buy? How can a formula outpredict wine experts in determining the best vintages? Super crunchers have the answers. In this brave new world of equation versus expertise, Ayres shows us the benefits and risks, who loses and who wins, and how super crunching can be used to help, not manipulate, us. Gone are the days of solely relying on intuition to make decisions. No businessperson, consumer, or student who wants to stay ahead of the curve should make another keystroke without listening to Super Crunchers. Language: English. Narrator: James Lurie.

    The Billionaire's Vinegar: The Mystery of the World's Most Expensive Bottle of Wine, Hörbuch, Digital, 349min
    It was the most expensive bottle of wine ever sold. In 1985, at a heated auction by Christie's of London, a 1787 bottle of Château Lafite Bordeaux - one of a cache of bottles unearthed in a bricked-up Paris cellar and supposedly owned by Thomas Jefferson - went for $156,000 to a member of the Forbes family. The discoverer of the bottle was pop-band manager turned wine collector Hardy Rodenstock, who had a knack for finding extremely old and exquisite wines. But rumors about the bottle soon arose. Why wouldn't Rodenstock reveal the exact location where it had been found? Was it part of a smuggled Nazi hoard? Or did his reticence conceal an even darker secret? It would take more than two decades for those questions to be answered and involve a gallery of intriguing players - among them Michael Broadbent, the bicycle-riding British auctioneer who speaks of wines as if they are women and staked his reputation on the record-setting sale; Serena Sutcliffe, Broadbent's elegant archrival, whose palate is covered by a hefty insurance policy; and Bill Koch, the extravagant Florida tycoon bent on exposing the truth about Rodenstock. Pursuing the story from Monticello to London to Zurich to Munich and beyond, Benjamin Wallace also offers a mesmerizing history of wine, complete with vivid accounts of subterranean European laboratories where old vintages are dated, and of Jefferson's colorful, wine-soaked days in France, where he literally drank up the culture. Suspenseful, witty, and thrillingly strange, The Billionaire's Vinegar is the vintage tale of what could be the most elaborate con since the Hitler diaries. It is also the debut of an exceptionally powerful new voice in narrative non-fiction. Language: English. Narrator: Dennis Boutsikaris.

    2018 Château Phelan Segur SAINT-ÉSTÈPHE A.C.
    Einer unserer Lieblingsweine des Bordeaux-Jahrgangs 2018. Ein Wein, der alles mitbringt, Finesse und Eleganz, Power und Fülle! Sehr fein und zugleich voll im Geruch wirkt er warm, cremig, fruchtintensiv und betörend. Zu dem Preis eine eindeutige Kaufempfehlung! James Suckling: 95-96/100 Punkte »This is the most powerful Phélan Segur I have ever tasted. A solid core of dense fruit and layered tannins that are so refined and polished. Remains fresh, energetic and bright. Yet, there’s plenty of harmony and balance.« Decanter: 94/100 Punkte »This is good quality in 2018, as it has consistently been over the past few vintages. It has a silky texture and is powerful but restrained, displaying the freshness and power of the clay that underpins the soils here and demonstrating just how good the Merlots were when they were picked at full ripeness but not more - here they were also given one week less than usual for the extraction. There's plenty of concentration here but it's hidden, latent, reserving its energy for the long haul. Harvest took place between 24 September and 11 October, with a good yield of 49hl/ha. 60% of the production went into the grand vin. 3.8pH. 77IPT. Drinking Window 2026 - 2040«  Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 93-95/100 Punkte »The 2018 Phélan Ségur is a blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Merlot, harvested from September 14 to October 4. The wine comes in at 14% alcohol, 3.8 pH and has an IPT (total polyphenol index) of 77. Deep purple-black in color, it springs from the glass with bright, vibrant notes of raspberry preserves, kirsch and ripe blackcurrants with hints of rose petals, tilled black soil, spice cake and warm plums plus a waft of star anise. Medium to full-bodied with a solid backbone of grainy tannins and seamless freshness, the palate sports a taut, muscular fruit profile with loads of bright red fruit sparks and a long, earthy finish.« Falstaff: 93/100 Punkte »Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart tabakig unterlegte schwarze Kirschfrucht, Brombeerkonfit, kandierte Orangenzesten, feiner Schokoladeanklang. Saftig, straff, schwarze Beeren, feine Süße, gut strukturiert, mineralisch und anhaftend, sicheres Reifepotenzial.«  Wine Enthusiast: 91-93/100 Punkte  »Barrel Sample. A layer of new wood is very present in this wine, giving smoky and spicy characters to the overall experience. These tones will need time to integrate with the blackberry fruits that are lurking underneath.« Wine Spectator: 90-93/100 Punkte »Lively, with juicy plum and black cherry fruit, supported by tobacco and toast accents in the end. An alluring whiff of incense swirls through the slightly dusty finish.« Vinum: 17/20 Punkte »Herrliche Aromatik von frischen Beeren und einem Hauch Veilchen; voller Ansatz, erstklassiges, präsentes, aber untadliges, lückenlos dichtes Tannin, langes, fruchtiges Finale, in dem der Alkohol nur begrenzt spürbar wird; ausserordentlich auch in diesem Jahr. 2028 bis 2040« Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

    ROC DE CAMBES 2013
    The Roc de Combes has a gorgeous plum, baked cherry and mulberry scented bouquet with fine definition and sense of mineralité, quite Pomerol-like. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tensile tannins, great precision and focus here, fresh and lively towards the precise finish. Wonderful finesse and composure here...this is destined to be a great Roc de Combes. Tasted April 2011. Jancis Robinson : 17.5/20 70% Merlot, 5% Malbec, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Picked 15 Oct. Exceptionally dark crimson. Very sweet and rich and tense. One of the tensest wines I have come across - real tension on top of great ripe fruit rather than overworked ’taut’ wines. Really very impressive. Much more structure than most Tertre vintages. Very small grapes and rich and very exciting. Not at all porty but very sweet and fresh. Holds its alcohol well. Very fresh. Really very unusual ! Spicy and rich but not at all heavy. Smoothed tannins - thanks to all that new oak ? Though very fresh and not that long on the finish.
