sensewine: Vertical of Clos Henri Vineyard
http://sensewine.blogspot.com/2008/12/vertical-of-clos-henri-vineyard.html
Wednesday, December 10, 2008. Vertical of Clos Henri Vineyard. Two days ago we have done a vertical of the Clos Henri wines (Clos Henri and Bel Echo ranges)- first wines were made in 2003. So no crazy old bottles full of dust, but a very interesting line up of wines to enable us to learn about the evolution of our wines and understand better our terroir (yes, i work at Clos Henri Vineyard), and how to improve our work in the vineyard. Who was part of that tasting? Clos Henri Sauvignon Blanc. To our pleas...

sensewine: Chateau de Pibarnon 1998...
http://sensewine.blogspot.com/2008/10/chateau-de-pibarnon-1998.html
Monday, October 27, 2008. Chateau de Pibarnon 1998. It is something i didn't want on my blog, listing wines and giving my opinion on them - as if my opinion was important! But, even though my opinion doesn't matter, well I have to say I enjoyed this wine thouroughly - so i share about it. Here are the notes i took:. Dry meat, dry figs, garrigue, dry leaves. Ripe fruit, but the main component of this wine is not its fruit. Http:/ www.pibarnon.com/. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Au Petit Marguery - L...

sensewine: Isn't this complete nonsense?
http://sensewine.blogspot.com/2010/08/isnt-this-complete-nonsense.html
Friday, August 20, 2010. Isn't this complete nonsense? Imagine you are given the choice to have for diner a home dish of fresh tuna balls cooked in a fresh tomato sauce, the whole lot cooked with pinenuts, lemon zest, flat parsley etc. or a visit to Mc Donald (no need or me to describe the menu there). What do you choose? To prove the dish was not at all repulsive, check these. So would you have gone for Mc Donald too? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bordeaux primeur 2009 and NZ wines prices - though.

sensewine: Visit of Poli Distillerie - Veneto
http://sensewine.blogspot.com/2008/10/visit-of-poli-distillerie-veneto.html
Monday, October 13, 2008. Visit of Poli Distillerie - Veneto. The wide tasting at the end of the distillery tour was very enjoyable as well, as you get to taste the different eaux de vie, and grappas Poli makes. What a pleasure for the senses, and that even if you were not tasting – I was though indeed! Only one last thing to say: Grazie mille. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Chateau de Pibarnon 1998.

sensewine: Wine ... Food, a love I nurture
http://sensewine.blogspot.com/2010/08/wine-food-love-i-nurture.html
Wednesday, August 11, 2010. Wine Food, a love I nurture. Haven't been writing for a while on this blog. Thinking about it, i believe that i haven't had much fantastic wine experience this year in fact. Sad, indeed! Again, if i look deep in my memory, only food memories come up. First experience of sea urchin, simply cooked, with few alguas, a drop of mayonnaise (sounds very basic, but no it was not! Gosh, i wish this restaurant was down my road! The soft of the ravioli pasta, the tender although firm of ...

sensewine: Raw Nature savours
http://sensewine.blogspot.com/2010/09/raw-nature-savours.html
Thursday, September 2, 2010. I have experienced a savour i never particularly paid attention to today - rosemary sap. I add some simple pasta with herbs, and just went in the garden to pick up some fresh rosemary and cut it as is on the pasta, without any cooking of the herbs. I hear your sarcastic thoughts: the best way is maybe to put my nose in the forest floor and eat whatever dirt comes to hand. Wouldn't that be too simple and actually not enjoyable? Not what i'm after. View my complete profile.

sensewine: Anobli 2008 from Alluviale, finally!
http://sensewine.blogspot.com/2009/08/anobli-2008-from-alluviale-finally.html
Thursday, August 6, 2009. Anobli 2008 from Alluviale, finally! If you haven't yet tried this and manage to get hold of a bottle, don't hesitate. It's a NZ$41 / 375ml bottle, but certainly worth it especially compared to what's available on the NZ market (no offense, I surely haven't tried them all yet). But my hope is back! There's a bit of experience there; the winemaker being producer in Jurancon, he might have few tricks to pull out. But good on him, it's great to see a beautiful NZ dessert wine!
