In The Glass: Violić – Dingač 2015

by  |  21-04-2017

I had the chance to sample this Pelješac wine from Violić recently which was quite interesting as it tastes more of the recent movement by some makers in the generally hearty Dingač region to literally... more »

In The Glass: Celler Cérvoles – Garnatxa de Cérvoles 2015

by  |  18-04-2017

Every time I’ve visited Mas Blanch i Jové for some event or another (they do many that are great), I’ve seen the Cérvoles Celler and always think, “Dammit, still need to visit there.” For some... more »

Molí dels Capellans – Atrepat 2015

by  |  24-03-2017

Last June I wrote about the Festa del Trepat that happens yearly in DO Conca de Barberà as a way to celebrate the leaps that have been made in giving the Trepat grape more protagonism... more »

In The Glass: Henry Fessy – Saint Amour 2013

by  |  26-02-2017

I’d tell you that we should all really be drinking more of the Grand Crus from Beaujolais but that’d mean there would be less for me. That’s already happening though as many people have come... more »

In The Glass: Vinyes d’en Gabriel – Cuvilà 2014

by  |  09-11-2016

As I mentioned in the article about the vintage of 2014, it was not an easy year and a rough go for the winemakers. In general, there seemed to be two camps in dealing with... more »

In The Glass: Jean Leon – 3055 Merlot/Petit Verdot 2015

by  |  23-09-2016

One of the wineries high on my list to visit in Catalonia is that of Jean Leon. Being that it's in DO Penedès, it's a touch out of the way for just casually stopping in,... more »

In The Glass: Cave de Tain l’Hermitage – Cornas 2012

by  |  19-09-2016

I don't really know why the AOC Cornas appellation in Rhône isn't more sought after. It's a very small region over just over 100ha with very small production of just half a million bottles--in a... more »

In The Glass: Telavi Marani – Kondoli Sami 2012

by  |  03-09-2016

I'm not a terribly huge fan of tossing in some French varieties with local ones as the mix is often unholy. I remember tasting a Greek wine from Naoussa that was Xinomavro and Cabernet Sauvingon.... more »

In The Glass: Uvas Veloces 2015

by  |  12-08-2016

Sometime back we'd posted about supporting the Uvas Veloces project on the Catalan version of Kickstarter, Verkami. We're not sure if it was our mention or a general curiosity for people to taste this wine... more »

In The Glass: Mas Oller – Plus 2013

by  |  24-06-2016

It was more than 6 years ago that I first visited Mas Oller. It was so long ago that I remember having trouble finding them due to a lack of sign at the time and... more »
