A gateway to Lebanese wine: Hochar Père et Fils 201522-04-2019

There are random appearances of Château Musar’s “Grand Vin” at a wine and liquor shop in the Duty Free of Stansted Airport which seem to be dictated by the laws of chaos. The temptation has... more>

In the Glass: AA Badenhorst – Secateurs Red Blend 201221-02-2019

I try to live a life as free from regret as possible and overall, I think I do a pretty decent job of keeping my “regret debt” within decent margins. There are however two regrets... more>

In The Glass: Telavi Marani – Kondoli Sami 201203-09-2016

I’m not a terribly huge fan of tossing in some French varieties with local ones as the mix is often unholy. I remember tasting a Greek wine from Naoussa that was Xinomavro and Cabernet Sauvingon.... more>

In The Glass – Oprişor – Smerenie 200721-01-2016

If living Spain, wines from Romania don’t often cross your path. For those who don’t know, they do make a good deal of wine there. It just depends on where you call home as to... more>

In The Glass: Celler de l’Encastell – Marge 201323-11-2015

There are some cellars in Priorat that just happily stay in the background, producing great wines, selling them, and then producing more. They give the impression that great winemaking is easy (it’s not, I know)... more>
