On a continent where economic growth is close to wishful thinking for many countries, the development of the Baltics over the last decades stands out. Most of the economic activity is centered on Tallinn. Compounded with the fact that 25% of the country’s population lives here as well, it should […]

It has been a while! Again! Who knew selling sake and other Japanese drinks would be so time-consuming? And then there is the old writer’s block popping up again, which I may have used as an excuse for laziness in the past, but which has come back for real to […]

There are a couple of estates whose reputation precedes their appellation. Chateau Simone in Palette, Huet in Vouvray, and of course Domaine Tempier in Bandol.

Burgundian Bandol – Domaine de Terrebrune

Posted on November 7, 2018November 27, 2018 by Peter Kupers Posted in Provence Tagged Bandol, French Wine, Mourvèdre, Organic Wine, Provence, Red Wine, Wine3 Comments on Burgundian Bandol – Domaine de Terrebrune

Terrebrune is in more ways than one an outlier in the appellation of Bandol. It is the lone estate located in Ollioulles, whereas most of its Bandol producing colleagues can be found around La Cadière d’Azur or Le Castellet. Moreso, the wines also have a distinctiveness to them, with a […]

It is however not uncommon for some crazy/ambitious winemaker to rediscover something previously neglected. Some of these

An introduction to German sweet (I)
Wine is the result of a winemaker’s decisions with regards to viticulture and vinification. At the very least, he or she would need to ensure that grapes contain enough sugar for a successful alcoholic fermentation. Sugar alone however does not create quality wine.

A belated reflection on International Sherry Week
So this comes late. International Sherry Week was, well, months ago already and due to unforeseen circumstances, I was cut off during the fourth edition of the #Sherry Twitter Tasting.

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been breaking my head about what I can write on Burgundy. All the years that I have been drinking Burgundian wines in a less structured manner, as well as a four-day visit do not exactly entitle me to an informed opinion. At the
