blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Barbera /
v. 2020 Román Zinfandel shows aromatic layers
of raspberry, red cherry, and rhubarb. and orange peel.

not being a Cab.

Terrific Tuesday with Bodegas Barbadillo's Tim Holt who hosted a masterclass today for Alexander Wines including 2 of the 3 new Criadera Selection en Rama range. Tonight with fish and chips Laura Burgess 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇦 and I enjoyed the 2023 Tio Pepe en Rama release.

After yesterday’s exertions I hope you didn’t expect me to cook, right?
Just a portion (2 ppl) of pasfa al ragú!
Surprisingly good Bordeaux Château Glensaire on offer Carrefour BE news; 1+1 = 8,99€!
Gold medal Macon. Perfect week wine.

Dinner at Lilium, probably the finest restaurant in Lanzarote.
Orlando Ortega is a magic chef.
Our wine by Tajinaste at Orotava, Tenerife proved once again that the wines from that valley are sublime

Lunch is off to a good start

A very relaxing slow dinner at our hotel at Reducto Bay, Arrecife
The wine soothed the mind and the after dinner brandy induced a feeling of somnolence
Sadly there is no red Lanzarote wine until the release next year 😥

Making the Top Ten list is like printing money.

This evening's wine a grand pinot (with the less fattening centre 😉😎, some of you of a certain age might get that quote)
German wine makers really do know how to handle pinot noir.
Have to say the cork might not have lasted much longer!

A tranquil sunny autumnal Sunday afternoon and a sparkler from the Pfalz to add to the calmness of the moment
The name 'alte rebschule' means old wine school but it is a rather good hotel with a fine kitchen at Rhodt unter Rietburg where once the wine school was!

Sunday evening dinner by Julia Dunlop 🔶🇪🇺 of braised steak and an equally grand Roero Riserva from our friends Paolo and Monica Demarie Wines
Nebbiolo is such a grand grape
