Selbach-Oster Domprobst Auslese 1995

A 16-year-old sweet Riesling Auslese that tastes like a 4-year-old dry.

Doluca Kalecik Karası 2005

A really good from Turkey. And I crave for more.

The wines of La Ghersa

La Ghersa: fine wines from Asti. So Barbera can be good?

G. D. Vajra Barolo Albe 2007

Had Barolo with fried chicken yesterday. Actually a pretty good match.

Rhône tightrope

Two wines from the Rhone, both powerful and very ripe… yet balanced and utterly convincing.

Best natural picks

My best picks out of 150 natural wines tasted in Zurich.

Natural European Wines 2011

Natural wine: what it is and why it matters. Summary of the 2011 Natural European Wines conference and tasting in Zurich.

Jefford on tea

Wine writers keep ignoring tea. With the honourable exception of Andrew Jefford.

Franciacorta cont’d

Having tasted through 35 Franciacortas, I still wonder where this appellation is heading.
