Cigalus 2016, Gérard Bertrand
What a brilliant wine. Crystal aromatic purity, each variety leaves its mark with excellent evolving, and I think it expresses South France's terroir.
Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2017, Sandhi
It was a delicious Chardonnay with layers of complexity that leaves a sense of joy while you drink it.
The Contours 2014, Pewsey Vale
That Riesling was just awesome. Concentrated with depth and balance at such a level makes you feel guilty for the 24€ you just paid.
Auksinis Maceration 2016, Sébastien Riffault
The truth is that I am not a big fan of Orange Wines. But Auksinis from Sébastien Riffault is a marvellous wine and a great example of how Orange Wines should be.
Auksinis 2015, Sébastien Riffault
Auksinis is a fascinating wine that accurately renders to the palate the grapes affected by the noble rot and the limestone soil where the vines are grown.
Paliokalias 2017, Domaine Dalamara
It is a pretty famous grand cru wine from the Naoussa region, Northern Greece, where the Xinomavro variety is the ultimate king.
Vieilles Vignes 2016, Domaine Dalamara
I admire all the work of Domaine Dalamaras, but that wine is world-class!
Matassa Rouge 2014, Domaine Matassa
Many "Brett" notes to this Carignan. Love it or hate it.
Orgion 2017, Sclavos
The dry wine of the Mavrodaphne variety can be remarkable, and in my opinion, it is a truly promising grape.
Lytton Springs 2017, Ridge Vineyards
After I tasted the breathtaking Cabernet Sauvignon, I scanned the Greek market to find anything from the Ridge Vineyards.
Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, Ridge Vineyards
Balance in wine is my holy grail, and when it combines with a multi-layered complexity, I fall into ecstasy.
Theodora 2018, Gut Oggau
It was an interesting wine with a surprisingly low alcohol level and pleasant-soft mouth feeling.
Santorini 2018, Akra Chryssos
Akra Chryssos is a lately new entry in Santorini's island terroir, not so as a vine grower as such a winemaker.
Les Quarterons 2018, Sébastien Riffault
For one more time, Sébastien Riffault surprising me and sent all the terroir theories to the garbage, proving that man is the most crucial terroir aspect.
Les Pins 2018, Domaine Bernard Gripa
This wine comes from a small appellation in Northern Rhône just south of the famous Cornas.
Goumenissa 2011, Tatsis
Through this blog, I have shared my love several times for Goumenissa's blend wines and particularly for this one.
Xinomavro Hedgehog Vineyard 2017, Alpha Estate
This award-winning wine offers great pleasure and is a shining jewel in the Greek wine market and our cellar, of course.
The Chocolate Block 2018, Boekenhoutskloof
The name and appearance are quite misleading, and one will easily conclude that it is a German wine. But this diamond comes from South Africa and is excellent!
Tradition Lagrein 2019, Kellerei Cantina Terlan
If the Italian wines are famous for something, this is the value for money they bring to the consumer, primarily until 15€.
