Yalumba The Scribbler 2012. March 24, 2016. Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (54%) and Shiraz (46%) from Yalumba. Oh, there is none. Finally some cool weather in Adelaide so finally I want to drink some red wine! In the glass, moderately intense and sitting somewhere between purple and ruby in colour. Posted in barossa valley. Yalumba Single Site Schiller Vineyard Shiraz 2007. August 27, 2015. March 5, 2016. The nose did seem quite muted but this may be a very unfair assessment as our house is most kind...

Slotovino: July 2014
http://slotovino.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
A Plea for Diversity in Wine. Monday, 28 July 2014. Technical ignoramuses as we are, it has taken us all these years to work out that there is a figure beside each post which shows the number of hits there have been. Our little blog is not aimed at a mass market to say the least. Our main purpose is to have an aide memoire. To help us recall our experiences as the more we drink the less we remember. Bordeaux is vast of course. Bigger than the combined vine-growing areas of some entire countries but i...

Slotovino: October 2014
http://slotovino.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
A Plea for Diversity in Wine. Thursday, 2 October 2014. Our love of Jura wine increases slowly but inexorably. At first, it seemed rather repellant but as we always say what you may hate has the potential to become something you love; only indifference is likely to endure. We hope the book will encourage wider appreciation of Jura wine and also others to publish works on wine-growing areas in need of closer attention.This is a model example of how to do it! Slotovino cash prize competition, 2014. It is t...

Slotovino: May 2015
http://slotovino.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
A Plea for Diversity in Wine. Saturday, 2 May 2015. Wine storage at The Breakers, Palm Beach. West Palm Beach boasts the 'first and only grand piano fully covered in genuine alligator skin'. Not to mention dedicated pooch buggies. But these weren't the only singularites to be found. There is a fun bar with tropical fish under the counter. Quite possibly the first and only one in West Palm Beach? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Wine storage at The Breakers, Palm Beach.

Slotovino: June 2015

A Plea for Diversity in Wine. Sunday, 7 June 2015. LWF Extracting raisins from the currant bread. When Stockhausen was asked his opinion of the music of Luciano Berio he said in what must be one of the greatest put-downs in the history of Classical Music "when I was a boy, my grandmother used to smack my hand when I tried to pick the raisins out of the currant bread". No grandma was there to smack our hands at the 35th London Wine Fair at Olympia in May this year so it was for the raisins that we went.

Slotovino: Britain's largest vineyard
http://slotovino.blogspot.com/2015/06/britains-largest-vineyard.html
A Plea for Diversity in Wine. Saturday, 6 June 2015. What is to be Britain's largest vineyard is already under way in Pishill, Oxfordshire. Planted already to the classic Champagne varieties, it stretches along the road in this typically long drawn-out village. The owners spent a long time searching for this property and have gone at it very professionally with the best of advice along the way. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). LWF Extracting raisins from the currant bread. RAW again but only just.

Having spent many hours tasting the wines around the region I recommend the following as the ‘must see’ Cellar Doors for the Barossa. There are many others to taste along the way but I would highly recommend that you put these on your list. 24 Queen St, Williamstown. If you don’t know what Garganega, Lagrein and Saperavi are then you really owe it to yourself to find out, don’t you? 24 Queen St, Williamstown. Yes, you do!

A Plea for Diversity in Wine. Sunday, 7 June 2015. RAW again but only just. Our RAW 2015 was decidedly a disaster but even so we found some treasures. Far fewer than if we had allotted the whole day instead of 2 hours and if we had done a bit of preparation. To cap it all our mobile decided to play Silly Buggers and conked out near the start only to relent and start up again just as we were leaving. The range of Ambiz wines in fuzzy bottles. Who has heard of Dore and Malvar? Certainly not us. These w...

Slotovino: November 2014
http://slotovino.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
A Plea for Diversity in Wine. Monday, 3 November 2014. English Wine: Essex 2, Suffolk 2 (and Sussex 1). East Anglian wineries are quite spread out, so there is hardly a 'Weinstrasse' as such. Nonetheless, this is one of the best places to grow grapes in the country, being the driest and subject to benevolent winds. From London, a good day out among the vines might include New Hall and Dedham Vale in Essex and Giffords Hall and Wyken in Suffolk. Carla Carlisle was our inspiration for planting a few vines ...
