    Here's the Thing... Chidaine???

    I sell Chidaine. In Norway. But the current vintage, 2016, was a very tough one. Both for Chidaine and his neighbour Jacky Blot. Chidaine lost 70% in Montlouis, 50% in Vouvray and 80% in Touraine due to frost. He has put a few bottles of back vintages on the market. And he bought a stash of...

    Anything Disorderly Going on In Peru?

    Tacama used to make decent wine. Perhaps they still do, but I have not tasted for several years. The Gran Tinto-series was made without wood.

    CWD: Musar 2005 (Homeopathic version)

    It is very far between Alko (Finland) and Vinmonopolet (Norway) in terms of selection. Probably Vinmonopolet has the greatest selection in the world (when it comes to product lines). Around 15000 different products as of today available. Disclaimer: I work as Product Manager for Fine Wines at...

    Spam and nothing but spam

    But I could not resist posting this. My work the last year has been for the norwegian wine-monopoly. Of the 300 shops we have there are seven fine wine-shops. The goal is to make the worlds best wine-shop for fine wine. My job is as Product Manager for these shops. Six times a year we launch...

    Sardinia

    Oristano is a fine little town with a small center. Lots og fine local restaurants. Try to go to Trattoria da Gino one night. Very traditional, small restaurant. Only eight tables so it is a good idea to make a reservation, or the waiter will probably tell you to come back in half an hour. Craf...

    Hail in Piedmont yesterday

    Got a message from Frode Refstad at the fine estate Tenuta il Sogno in San Marzano Oliveto. They were hard hit by hail yesterday. Very large hailstones that did disastrous damage. 70-80% of the young grapes was wrecked. Also a lot of damages to cars and roofs in the area. Don't know about the...
