Recent Wines January 2021 (Part 1) #theglouthatbindsus

Winemakers Club, Otros Vinos and Wines Under the Bonnet by Inna Sirota
Having made rash promises more than a week ago about all the articles I was going to write, I promptly got ill. Those promises will be met, eventually, but in the meantime I was unable to make it to the tasting at Antidote earlier this week. Help was at hand…Inna Sirota has provided some notes on her favourite wines from this event. I hope that they provide some recompense for my own inactivity. I’d like to thank her for generously giving of her time to provide a record of this important tasting. Inna spent fifteen years crunching numbers in New York (banking) and London (Google) before deciding to quit finance in order to concentrate on her passion for wine travel … Continue reading →

Downstairs at Eric’s (and Doug’s) Part 1 – Otros Vinos in the Basement at Terroirs
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 (February 2018) #theglouthatbindsus

Otros Vinos – The Full Monty
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 →

Return to the Vaults Part 1 – Otros Vinos
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 →
