Alentejo wines tasting

Alentejo wines tasting in Lisbon: my top picks from this exciting wine region.

In Sicily: Etna trek

Sicily vineyard tour day 1: Etna trek, clashing with lava, and enjoying a good Grenache.

Salomon Estate: sophisticated Australia

Salomon Estate: sophisticated red wines from Australia with a European twist.

The wines of Le Macchiole

Made to impress, they do. But I prefer the Cabernet Franc to the Merlot.

Julien Meyer Sylvaner 2001

Do you believe in great wine? Here’s one from Alsace. And amazingly it’s a Sylvaner.

Petro Vaselo: promising Romania

New kid on the block: brilliant Merlot and Pinot Noir offers glimpse of hope for Romania.

Less hate, more love

Alsace wines are improving. Notably they are becoming drier.

Livio Felluga Sossò 2000

Orange wine works great with goose; world-class Merlot from Italy.

A lovely older Muscadet

Found a 7-year-old bottle of Muscadet in the cellar. Turned out to be delicious.

Football wine

The 2012 European football championship in Poland: what we’ve been drinking.
