This is a terrible wine. I think I mistook it for this. How I did that I'm not sure.It's almost the colour of a rose (not really unusual for a Pinot Noir), but it's also thin, acidic, and just generally grim. Really disappointing. I don't remember (read full article)
Another Random Aussie Bloke purchase. This time from Calais. He reckons it was around €30.For a Pinot Noir, it tastes absolutely nothing like the stuff I've had recently. On the other hand, I'm not really sure it tastes like Pinot Noir. It was r (read full article)
Following my post about the 2008 vintage of this wine, I ordered a case of 12 from Waitrose Wine Direct whose website indicated they had it back in stock. However despite advertising it as 2008, and all the packaging materials, invoice, etc also indi (read full article)
It's not often you buy a Burgundy, white or red, for under £7 and it's very good. I wouldn't say this is 'very good' but it's definitely good. I've been disappointed with Blason's wines before (especially the whites), so I wasn't really expecting (read full article)

My Aussie friend went to New York again, and this time he actually managed to bring back some wine. We've been trying (when I say we, I really mean he) to find some good examples of New York wine, but with little success. So instead he brought back (read full article)

I picked this up on a whim yesterday on a trip to Waitrose to buy some cheese. I've tried a Pinot Gris from Valdivieso before that I thought was interesting, so I just grabbed this Pinot when I saw it, even though new world Pinot Noir isn't really my (read full article)
I have to admit that Burgundy reds are somewhat of a gaping hole in my wine experience... please don't shoot me. Perhaps its that I just got too hooked on Bordeaux wines and neglected this region. Anyway, I approached this wine with an open and unbia (read full article)
I picked this red Burgundy up in supermarket in Brussels a few weeks ago. The village of Mercurey is in the southern part of Burgundy known as the Côte Chalonnaise. Two villages in particular here, Mercurey and Givry, are sources of good quality a (read full article)
This is a wine I wouldn't normally drink, which is the whole point. What I mean is, a friend of mine offered to do a "wine swap" - that is trade something of his that I wouldn't normally try, for something he wouldn't normally try.My experiences wit (read full article)
This wine has been popping up in a lot of newspaper columns and magazine articles recently, so I figured I might as well try it to see what all the fuss is about.Those who know me know that I'm not a huge fan of cheap, new world Pinot Noir. Despite (read full article)
