Hallelujah, Hallelujah, God all mighty, Hallelujah. I’ve seen the light and held the hand of the Devil as I walked through the shadows. Free at last, I’m free at last. I have no idea what that means but…
If you like wine – like even this much l..l – the BLOOD INTO WINE trailer Continue Reading…
The European Wine Blogger’s Conference is announcing its 2010 location in Vienna, Austria, on October 22-24!

I ordered a six pack of “COLD P….” because of the conotation alone… “Muschi” in German is, you guessed it… images do speak a thousand words. Would I have come up with the idea of mixing wine and cola… would I want to? Since you can make your own similar mix, I wanted to find out if Kalte Muschi was worth the purchase price.

This is the first WOTR event episode and I must admit, it was a lot of fun! There’s nothing like being surrounded by 1000 FREE wines, great people and the possibility to ask whatever the hell I want!

For those of you living in or visiting London on JAN 20, the annual Bibendum Tasting at the Saatchi Gallery is an event not to be missed. The biggest problem at such events is not which wine to taste but which wine to taste first – luxury problems I like to call them. 1000 wines, 200 producers and a fantastic location to boot.

Any piece of art, whether written, sung, played, sculpted or painted should, in my opinion, trigger a certain emotion or set of emotions if done properly, in short – with authenticity – BEEN DOON SO LONG does this. Continue Reading…
Gambero Rosso’s “Tre Bicchieri” (Three Glasses) world tour has become a highlight in many a wine lover’s calendar and on February 01, 2010 the show will be hitting Munich and held at the BMW Museum. Continue Reading…
