Along the way

Lets call this months wines a collection. A collection because these are wines we have been collecting in the IWCoK cave over the past few months. And why not. Sometimes we run into a wine just like that, we like it and we buy it without any idea what to do with it. Ohh, the wine club business can be so romantic…

A familiar wine maker helps, Mas du Bagnol from the Rhone valley has already brought a a great red blend, but their Chardonnay takes us to the next level. Rebula from Slovenia can never go wrong, and a delicate Sauvignon from the Loire Valley makes an elegant addition to any dinner. Clean and crisp. Add in a limited edition Vernaccia found by local treasure hunter Mr Sklenicka, and you have a host of flavors that meet the most discerning guest.

Our reds come from five old European countries. Merlots from the Rhone and the Brda region of Slovenia, a delicate blend from the finest old vines in France, a much easier full bodied affair from Portugal, and a “reserved” Spaniard from an acclaimed family all bring something else to the party. Take them out and pick your favorite, always a relaxing chore.

We hope you like this collection as much as we did putting it together. The “red thread” this time is true to our motto – great wine, at a fair price. Enjoy
