Schubert Herrenberg Spätlese feinherb 2006
Spätlese feinherb: not something you’d remotely look forward to, yet this 2006 from Schubert is just a stunning Riesling.

Another exciting wine from Croatia. Rethinking its commercial warhorse: jammy Shiraz-like Plavac Mali.
Zesty and mouth-puckeringly tannic, Gattinara is the perfect antidote.
Fresh and fruity. I need nothing more at 5.90€.
Wine writers and alcohol: no problem? Two weeks of wine detox had me thinking whether I normally drink too much.
Saying goodbye to good old Rosso di Montalcino? Awaiting the verdict of appellation authorities next Wednesday, I’m having a delicious 100% Sangiovese Rosso tonight.
Montalcino is still at war. The idea of allowing grapes other than Sangiovese into Rosso di Montalcino has boomeranged. But is it really Montalcino’s biggest problem? I don’t think so.

Can’t get enough Côtes du Rhône at the moment. It’s become my favourite red wine. Today, a succulent example from overperforming Domaine La Réméjeanne.
I’ve grown into something of a Southern Rhône addict. This 2005 Vacqueyras from Domaine La Monardière is hitting all the right notes for me.
