Marcel Richaud Cairanne 2000

One of those days when everything just goes fine. Including this stunning bottle of 11-year-old Côtes du Rhône. Worth three times its price.

2009 Darjeelings (5): Makaibari

Makaibari is one of Darjeeling’s leading tea estates. Biodynamic farming is practiced here, an absolute rarity in Asia. I taste four 2009 teas, including two less-than-successful greens.

My top picks from the annual Austrian trade tasting in Warsaw, including some delicious whites from the lesser-known Wagram region.
