Swiss francs Find the Bauer Sauvignon Find the Kalkstein Sauvignon Find the Wageck Sauvignon Yesterday, in Sauvignon Blancs from … Germany, I wrote about this rather unusual combination of
varietal (yes, varietal this time rather than variety) and provenance. As I
said, I recently had a chance to taste six examples - three…

The club of the most traditional, well-established wine
merchants in the UK – typically with a royal warrant and/or a member of The
Bunch – is a remarkably small, cosy one.
As I pointed out recently in A bunch of
indies, they are increasingly being
challenged by a host of smaller, younger, leaner, more innovative independent
wine merchants who…

I don't know about you but Sauvignon Blanc is not a grape variety I readily associate with Germany. It's not, after all, as though Germany is short of other grape varieties that offer direct fruit, marked acidity and a powerful aroma. A certain R**sling, the country's most-planted grape, springs to mind, after all. And then when I mentioned to our…

26 January 2017 For today’s Throwback Thursday we are
republishing free Bill Blatch’s masterful and detailed summary of Bordeaux’s
most recent vintage.
23 January 2017 One of Bordeaux’s most seasoned observers, Bill

If you are wondering why this collection of newly released
New Zealand wines, tasted in London at the end of last year, includes not one
Pinot Noir, there is a simple explanation. Today Jancis heads off to Wellington
for Pinot Noir NZ 2017 and to visit producers on the pencil in the ocean, promising
to return with a full report on Kiwi Pinot. In…

Jacky Blisson, the nineteenth entrant to our wine writing competition, here offers one piece imagining what her wine-merchant grandfather might think of the modern wine world, and another challenging the natural wine world on its appropriation of purity (subject matter tackled recently by another entrant in our competition Caroline Gilby MW). Jacky…

This autumn I was able
to spend time with Antoine Donnedieu de Vabres, general manager of the Eisele
Vineyard, previously known as the Araujo
Estate, in Napa Valley. Together we walked the site, and discussed what
changes the Artemis Domaines team has made since taking ownership of the
property from the Araujo family in 2013. We were also able to…

This article has been syndicated. It was the most glorious late summer day in England. A
bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds. Peaceful rolling parkland punctuated
by ancient oaks. A village green with a post office in a little old-fashioned
brick cottage. In its carefully tended garden locals were sitting at wooden
tables sipping their morning…

A shorter version of this article is published by the Financial Times. See tasting notes on more than 50 particularly venerable wines in Wallowing
in 1928s, and other relics. Just as there is a world of difference between a five-year-old wine and 50-year-old one, tasting old wines is a completely different
exercise from tasting young wines. This…

A clue lies in the names of the following restaurants.
Firstly, there was Dishoom, then Gymkhana, then Gunpowder, then Hoppers and,
most recently, there is Kricket that has just opened in Soho. The names link England with the Indian subcontinent in a way
that is both evocative and relevant. Gymkhana in Mayfair is the most
sophisticated and sounds a…
