Recent Wines January 2022 (Part 2) #theglouthatbindsus
If Part 1 got January off to a strong start, Part 2 goes down equally different paths. We begin with a well known Blaufränkisch from Burgenland before veering right across Europe to Alentejo. Then back we go to cooler climes … Continue reading

Recent Wines July 2021 (Part 1) #theglouthatbindsus
In the first half of July, I crawled into a corner of European wine which spilt out a little from Trink Magazine’s “umlaut wines” domain, but only just. I think the eight wines I’ve written about here are perfect for … Continue reading

All I Want for Christmas…(from the importers, please!)
There was a time when the UK was acknowledged the best place to buy wine in the world. As we didn’t (as the received wisdom at the time went) have a “proper” wine industry of our own, you could by … Continue reading

This follow-on from Part 1 (last week) highlights another eight wines drunk at home during September. It’s an eclectic mix which, as always, pays scant attention to the vagaries of the weather, as it does to the norms of civilised … Continue reading
