Wine & Dine – The Wine Analyst
https://thewineanalyst.org/wine-dine
Wine of the Week. A love for wine is inextricably linked with a love for food but in the vast majority of restaurant reviews it is woefully ignored. I suspect that this is either because the writer erroneously thinks that there is insufficient interest with a mainstream public, or that the writer himself does not care or does not know enough about wine to form an opinion on it. And even then basically said. London Food (III) – Taberna do Mercado. Took place. I was led here via Jamie Goode’s wine blog.

Wine of the Week. The joys of a Burgundy club. November 4, 2016. November 4, 2016. Note: Linkedin has kindly informed me that it has been two years since I started blogging with The Wine Analyst. Given that more people congratulated me on this anniversary than on the one of my actual job a couple of months earlier, I must be on to something! Last year I briefly addressed the tendentious relationship I have with the red wines of Burgundy. A recurring theme is the vintage check; tasting the same wine or at...

https://thewineanalyst.org/2016/05/19/raw-the-artisan-wine-fair-2016
Wine of the Week. RAW, the Artisan Wine Fair 2016. May 19, 2016. November 8, 2016. The 2016 RAW fair took place in London this weekend, and just like last year. Of course, if you are just getting started with a first vintage, I can imagine being thrilled that it actually tastes like wine. Nonetheless, there is more to it than just that and it was inspiring to taste wines that have come a long way. Anyway, on to a couple of memorable wines! I first met Peter Hahn at last year’s RAW and was thrilled with t...

Wine talk – The Wine Analyst
https://thewineanalyst.org/category/wine-talk
Wine of the Week. Loire Tripping 2017 – The Salon and La Levée. February 20, 2017. Anyway, to the wines! I had come across the wines by Jacky Blot. In comparison to other producers like Bertrand Jousset or Francois Chidaine I found the wines to be richer, more Burgundian in style almost. The younger wines were marked by oak, balanced but present. This did however add some complexity in the older vintages presented. Highlights was definitely. Les Hauts de Husseau. Clos de la Bretonni. Domaine aux Moines i...

Wine of the Week. Week 10 – Domaine de la Croix Senaillet, Sur La Carrière 2012. May 9, 2015. August 16, 2015. The Côte Mâconnais is the southern part of Burgundy. Although the generic Burgundy appelations stretch out as far as Lyon going further down, let us be honest here. The bulk of Burgundian wines that everyone is interested in and talking about is made above Beaujolais. Continue reading →. A reflection on white Burgundy. May 5, 2015. August 16, 2015.

Wine of the Week. A charity auction for SOS Kinderdorpen! October 3, 2016. October 4, 2016. The wine world can be quite self-absorbed and will at its worst seem to cater to the 1%. Luckily there is also room for trying to do something good (aside from supporting wine makers), and over the years there have been a great any initiatives taken for just causes. Charity dinners and auctions, Wine in Moderation. The other day I was contacted by the Belgian chapter of SOS Kinderdorpen. For a bloggers auction.

Wine of the Week. 2017 week 4 – Domaine Huet, Clos de Bourg demi-sec 2001. March 6, 2017. Looking back at my short but intense stay in the Loire region, I realized that I haven’t talked enough about Chenin Blanc, despite my love for it. Only one wine was put into the spotlight, 2 009 Les Choisilles by Francois Chidaine. The wines that get it right, the wire walkers between acidity and sweetness are among the best you can encounter. Like Riesling, Chenin Blanc is one of the rare grapes with this capab...
