Rioja Siglo Saco Tinto Crianza 2002 & 2001
Blackberries and red fruits, lots of tannins. Deep red color. It was a little warn for my taste, and thus that of every highly trained sommelier. Best served after letting it breath for 2 hours. The 2002 was much too young to be ...

Oppenheimer Krötenbrunnen Burgkellerei Sommerau 2006
A sweet white wine reminiscent of lime and pear
Touraine-Amboise Domaine de la Chanoinerie Demi-sec 1986
Like flames of an audacious fire leaping into the void of a moonless night. Caramel, Honey and lots of sediment. It was so sweet it could almost be used as an aperitif. Light with a strong body, just like your humble host. I ...
Robert Mondavi 2000 Private Selection Chardonnay
A vibrant and enthusiastic wine. Like an inner city slum peopled by criminals and dotted with quaint food shops. Weight, resistance and muscularity are good every once in a while, but I wouldn’t want to drink it everyday. Green apples and sweet limes.
Concha y Toro Selección Sauvignon Blanc / Chardonnay
Lemony, alcoholic smell and a bitter aftertaste. It leaves a bunch of bubbles on the wine glass if you care about that kind of thing. The wine has a pale yellow color and a full body, but watery taste.
Lussac-Saint-Émilion Château La Claymore 1999
Black cherries, tobacco leaves and cherry-like fruit. A tart and pungent fruity wine with a refreshing personality, but then I’ve always been partial to French Merlots.
Sarmientos de Tarapacá Sauvignon Blanc
A sparkling dry wine with an acid flavor that evokes vanilla and sweet fruits, it leaves a tingling sensation on the sides of your tongue. Lots of alcohol and gormless in the end.
Vi de la terra de Castella
A dark and exciting wine reminiscent of generic sweet berries, dark fruit, and herbs. Easy to drink and excellent for a steak. Much better than the more expensive hifalutin wines.
“It is a little, shy wine, like a gazelle.” “Like a leprechaun.” “Dappled, in a tapestry meadow.” “Like a flute by still water.” “And this is a wise old wine.” “A prophet in a cave.” “And this is a necklace of pearls on a white neck.” “Like a swan.” “Like ...
