Luis Gutiérrez “The New Vignerons” (Book Review)

Posted on 01/04/2020 by dccrossley

When Luis Gutiérrez’s book The New Vignerons was published back in 2017 I sat up and took note, but although I can stretch to struggling through wine books in French, I know my Spanish would not have got me past the first … Continue reading →

Viñateros 2020, Part 2

Posted on 11/03/2020 by dccrossley

Viñateros seems a long time ago, and indeed it’s a week since I managed to get Part 1 published (if you didn’t see it, follow the link here). I’m sure quite a few readers will know I’ve been ill, which … Continue reading →

Viñateros 2020, Part 1

Posted on 04/03/2020 by dccrossley

There is a sub-title for Viñateros, the large Spanish Wine Tasting, the London event of which was held at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Lindley Hall on 25 February. It is “A Spanish Wine Revolution”. I don’t think that overstates anything. … Continue reading →

Posted on 07/10/2019 by dccrossley

You’ve probably noticed how frantically I have been writing recently, with so many of September’s round of tastings to get through. Now is the time to reflect what I’ve been drinking at home in the past month, but I really … Continue reading →

Three Go Mad In Islington – Nekter, Roland, Modal Portfolio 2019

Posted on 18/09/2019 by dccrossley

The three dynamic, young and small importers featured here have not chosen a pithy name for themselves, like the “Dirty Dozen”, so I’ve kind of done it for them in my title (sorry chaps). Nekter Wines, Roland Wines and Modal … Continue reading →

Victoria Torres Pecis – The New Star of the Canaries

Posted on 29/08/2019 by dccrossley

A couple of years ago a friend visited La Palma, the most northerly and one of the smaller Canary Islands. At the time I had no idea any significant wines were made on the rather barren looking volcano of La … Continue reading →

“…Yellow, Orange and Red” – the Diverse and Wonderful Indigo Portfolio

Posted on 25/02/2019 by dccrossley

I used to think of Indigo Wine as a small-to-medium importer with a portfolio focused on Spain, but in truth they seem to have grown rather rapidly into something larger and much more diverse, but without loss of direction. There’s … Continue reading →

Posted on 27/09/2018 by dccrossley

September is Tastings Month. There are several events almost every day, so it’s impossible to get to them all. It’s also impossible to keep up my usual timely posts, splitting writing with sipping wine all day. For those who have … Continue reading →

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 →
