  1. #gnocchi alla sorrentina paired with #NizzaRiserva DOCG #Barbera #wine it was gorgeous. Woody, soft tannins, high acidity. Velvety and elegant. Absolutely gorgeous. #winelover #winetasting #winegeek #foodie

  2. For our #xmasdinner #christmasdinner we had a #Barolo and a #PouillyFume #wine. Both fenomenal. PF had flavours of hazelnut, passion fruit, honeysuckle. Barolo was more smokey, game-y and mushrooms. #winelover #winetasting #winegeek

  3. The only grape so far that I haven't liked any bottles I tasted it's #CheninBlanc but I refuse to believe I can't find a grape I won't enjoy. Still looking into it. #wine #winetasting #winelover #winegeek

  4. #wine had a nice dinner with friends on Saturday. We started off with a #Soave classico, it was gorgeous. Soave is so underrated, people should really give it a go, one of the best whites from #italy. We then moved to a #Riesling and this was... Odd. The smell was putting us off a bit, reminded us of open fields and cattle. The taste saved it a bit, it was very honey rich. I'll try other Rieslings in the future, hopefully I'll find one more to my taste. #winelover #winetasting #winegeek

  5. Not a big fan of #Lidl #wine, I got this #Garnacha Old vine with the certainty it wouldn't have been to my taste and I'm happy to confirm I was wrong. It doesn't have the tobacco/smoke note you'd detect in most of the reds I go for, but it doesn't lack flavour nor taste. I've had it with burger and it went well together. My liking of #cannonau gave me curiosity to try more #grenache wines #winetasting #winelover #winegeek

  6. First time ever I use a #decanter and large bowl wine glasses. Having this #Barbera with an appetiser of salami, cheese and crackers and then #pasta with #amatriciana. I didn't have the best impression of Barbera on my first try so this time decided to go for a Superiore. You do taste the difference. It doesn't have the complexity of a Nebbiolo but it's a great #wine! Taste of #blueberries and #smoke I'd say. #winetasting #winelover #winegeek

  7. I knew #Majestic were a great merchant, but I still need to pinch myself into believing the No quibble policy. If you don't like a #wine, they'll replace it. We love their #Definition range, their house branded wine, great stepping stone to start exploring a new blend or grape. Sadly the #Zinfandel we tried was way too acidic and we were disappointed. I walked in store, I had already the bottle in mind and I was so lucky they actually had an open bottle for me to have a free taste. It tasted amazing, all the flavours you'd expect from a #Primitivo basically. Can't wait to open it for a nice dinner. #winelover #winetasting #winegeek #MajesticWine

  8. A colleague of mine is from #India and she’ll be visiting family next month. She asked if I wanted anything from there and without hesitation I thought I wanted to try #wine. I read a couple of articles, watched a few videos and I’m intrigued how a country at that latitude can produce wine. I have asked for a bottle of #Sula wines and a bottle of #Fratelli wines. I am curious and open minded about this #winelover #winetasting #winegeek Just need to pick the wines now…

  9. Our first taste of a #Dolcetto wine and boy, what a #wine! I let it rest for 30 minutes before tasting it and opened up beautifully. I detected black pepper, violet and blueberries. Medium body, can't detect much alcohol. You can tell it's a #PiedmontWine but it's very different from anything else I tried. Loved it! #italianwine #winetasting #winelover #winegeek

  10. I found this article on #italianwine very interesting. Haven't tried yet a #supertuscan and not a big fan of the term myself but nonetheless, still curious to try. I'm a big fan of #Sangiovese so a Tuscan take on the #bordeaux blend sounds more then appealing #winegeek #winelover #winetasting cluboenologique.com/story/supe #wine

  11. We've tried today this #whitewine #Passimento #Garganega wine, it was very interesting, complex, floral, acidity well balanced. Really liked it, totally recommend this. Would have thought that an #appassimento wine would have more body, reminded me a lot the #Cortese #Gavi wine to be honest. #wine #winelover #winetasting #winegeek.
