I’ll take your word for it! Once, a guy in a wine shop recommended it to go with hamburgers. I didn’t take his advice …

Lambrusco

As teenagers in Germany a few decades ago, Lambrusco was often seen as the easy first way to get drunk - cheap, kind of sweet(ish) with bubbles which make it more palatable (and have a faster effect)

I’m shocked, SHOCKED I say …

Couple of excellent Italian wines. I hope these crazy tariffs don’t start making these unavailable - maybe I should stock up.

With Greek Easter dinner, a xinomavro from northern Greece. “Xino” means sour, “mavro” means black. This had a soft acidity, blackberry notes, smiling tannins.

Last night with dinner at Cafe de l’Usine, Hüpnos. A greek orange wine that paired brillantly with everything on the menu. A wine I never would have picked, but relied on the Somm’s excitement and we are glad we did!!
