Recent Wines (May 2018) #theglouthatbindsus

Posted on 11/07/2018 by dccrossley

I’m getting behind (as usual) with this “recent wines” malarkey, so I’m going to split May and June into two more digestible bites – eight wines from May today and then eight wines from June next week. PN17, Tillingham Vineyard, … Continue reading →

Sherry Baby (Pizarro Sherry Lunch)

Posted on 10/02/2018 by dccrossley

At least once a year the treat of a Sherry-focused lunch comes around, and I’m sure some of you have read tales from our “Fish & Fino” lunches in the past. This week we went to Pizarro, one of José … Continue reading →

Ribera Del Duero

Posted on 13/10/2017 by dccrossley

This is the Tasting I alluded to in my last article. Ribera Del Duero may be one of Spain’s top winemaking regions, but the wines do have a reputation for tannin, and a lack of approachability when young. Not too … Continue reading →

Otros Vinos – The Full Monty

Posted on 11/10/2017 by dccrossley

I went to a Tasting yesterday, which I hope to write up next week. What stood out about it was that so many wines were almost identical. Of course, that helped the best wines, the really good ones, to stand … Continue reading →

Another “Masters” Class (Spanish Whites)

Posted on 28/04/2017 by dccrossley

Just six of us were at Masters Superfish yesterday for a lunch themed on Spanish Whites. I must say that there are those among us who feel that our Fino lunches here in Waterloo provide a wine style most suited to fish … Continue reading →

Up the Junction

Posted on 10/04/2017 by dccrossley

Thirty years ago I lived less than ten minutes’ walk north of Dalston Junction. This part of London was very different back then. There was no spanking new Overground Station where there are now two. There were certainly no “luxury … Continue reading →

Senorans at The Shipyard

Posted on 07/04/2017 by dccrossley

I was back at Lymington’s wonderful Shipyard Restaurant last week for a dinner with Javier Izurieta, Export Director of Pazo Senorans. The Shipyard is getting a reputation for wine, and in fact they have a tasty looking event on 4 … Continue reading →

Return to the Vaults Part 1 – Otros Vinos

Posted on 29/03/2017 by dccrossley

Back in the last century it was pretty simple if you liked wine. You had your own “wine merchant”, a decent fellow, one hoped. If you wanted “claret” then you took what he recommended, what he had. Likewise Hock, and … Continue reading →

Viñateros – A Spanish Wine Revolution

Posted on 27/02/2017 by dccrossley

It has been, unusually, two weeks since I’ve posted an article. This has largely been down to my trip to Switzerland, which I’ll be writing about soon. I apologise if you therefore end up being bombarded with articles this week. … Continue reading →
