Chateau Bourgneuf – Great Pomerol for under £25

October 18, 2011

As you probably know by now, I love good wine. I love great, inexpensive wines even more. And I love Pomerol best of all. Chateau Bourgneuf combines all my passions into one. It tastes exceedingly good for the price. Now, I'm not going to wax lyrical about chocolate notes and hints of blackberry and all that tosh... probably, because my palate is not that refined. But I know ...

How to Ship Wine – Leak Proof Wine Skins

August 31, 2011

The Wine Skin is a bubble-wrap lined wine tote bag that is leak proof in case the bottle breaks inside. It snuggly fits a standard 750 ml bottle of your favourite Bordeaux. The material is meant to be puncture proof, which is good. Still, I wouldn't want to stick a fork in it. The flaps are self-adhesive seals that you peel off and use to close the end. The product is ...

Domaine Viret Wine – brings out the Terroir with zero hangover! [REVIEW]

July 22, 2011

I first came across Domaine Viret at a restaurant. The sommelier was particularly proud of his find - an honest, inexpensive wine that employed very simple, organic horticulture to bring out the true, naivete of the grape. Okay, so this might have been over-egging the pudding a bit but what he said next was very intriguing: the wine has no sulfites and, consequently, zero ...

Bicycle Wine Rack

July 14, 2011

There's something satisfying about purchasing hand-made goods from talented local craftsmen. Even more so, when made from recycled materials. Here's one that ticks both boxes - the bicycle wine rack. Made by Jesse Herbert of Montreal, Canada - it's being sold directly from him here for $30 CAD. It fits a 1" frame and here are the specs, according to the ...

Carta Roja – quaffable and inexpensive Jumilla wine

May 15, 2011

I must confess that I have mixed feelings about wine from Spain. In my experience, the best Spanish wine is in Spain itself and rarely exported. Most of what you find outside of the country is pretty rough. Perhaps that's why many Spaniards themselves drink wine and coca cola mixed together as a beverage. You wouldn't want to do this with a fine wine! When I went to ...
