Honestly I first tried this wine because of the grape, and them because I love other Sardinian reds. And boom, "Monica" became a mid week dinner favourite.

Flavor with a Capital "F". This mix of Nero d'Avola and Syrah from the island of Sicily is not one you will forget. The explosive fruit flavor is tamed by 2 years of aging in oak and in the bottle before making it to your table. Pair with red meats or heavy sauces. Nothing subtle about this wine.

We have been going so crazy over Austrian Veltliners lately, that we have missed something special right under our nose. This is a very refreshing wine with earthy tones and a mix of pear and melon. Every bit as interesting as the wines of our southern neighbour !

Las Moras are what you may call Malbec specialist. It was this grape that put them on the map. Barrel select is the next level of wow. Ranked by James Suckling at 90 and 91 two years in a row. What to say other than enjoy.

Our first Malbec varietal, this entry into the spicy word of chocolate and pepper demands a steak or other grilled meat. Malbec is not a wine for chicken of pork. It works best with beef or lamb. Go buy some meat - trust me.

Mike's Tip

This is a wine coming literally from the heal of Italy. I found this wine much fresher and less plummy than most Primitivo's I am made to drink (I am not a big fan), and I found that this made it a very different wine. It is described as an honest Primitivo, not over ripe and jammy. I think they were right!

A real gem in the last place we were looking. Full bodied reds from the Douro can get too plummy for me, but this wine shows great balance for its strength. Expect big and heavy so look to a roast of beef to pair with. Great value for $$$ !

Time to turn the IWCoK ship back to Malbec in 2020! We have not had this grape for quite a while. Full and chocolaty, cherry and tobacco. The nose will fill you with a lovely warm feeling, and the finish is soft and inviting. Great for sipping on the sofa.

Mike's Tip

Light and fresh out of the bottle, and a medium pallet with nice tannin on the finish. The Spanish Monastrell (you may know it as Mourvedre) is known for blueberry and spice in a light wrapper. Don't be fooled, this is a lighter wine perfect for pork dishes - not for beef.

Mike's Tip

I know what you are saying, "Where is the Tannin ?" Le Versant brings it. As a Merlot it is fruity, but it also brings a soft bite to tell you your alive. Some may find the fruits a bit flat, but this makes it all the more drinkable for others. Pair with strong cheese or a steak with a bit of gristle.

A summer wine in January? YES. We just thought it would be nice to have something light and refreshing (it is a touch
effervescent) after all the food you ate over Christmas :-). And the low alcohol content helps us all dry out a bit. Fresh, light = afternoon delight!

A modern look for a modern wine. This entry Riesling has heavy mineral tones and a medium acidity. Look past that and you will find apricot, citrus and honey. Much dryer than you may expect, so pair with lighter foods.

Drink ice cold. This is a delightful wine from the Pfalz region full of the regions taste. Lots of gooseberry and grapefruit over a huge helping rocks ! A complex medium bodied character with hints of pepper and lime.

This was a surprise that I absolutely loved. Closer to a medium body, a bit spicy but very smooth. Delicate red fruit that makes it exceptionally easy to drink. Light meat or chicken will go best.

Chocolate, vanilla, coffee, satin love. You get the picture ? The ONLY THING you will find disappointing about this wine is there is the bottle isn't bigger. Very dry and relatively short finish, but smooth as silk.

Mike's Tip

Aged for 10 months in the barrel, this is a hearty cabernet that has consistently scored 88 or higher at every show they entered. Jammy and full of coffee, guaranteed to be one of the best value wines you have tasted for a while.

Mike's Tip

Let this one breath for an hour, and you will get a balanced wine of red fruit and licorice. Cherry and red fruit are quite strong, and good tannins make it a better food wine - read meat on the grill!

Light and tannic. This is indeed an entry level red, but fresh and fruity that will pair well with salami or cheese. Perfect when you just want a glass with dinner, and it won't weigh you down.

  • Supplier: CELLARIUS
  • Box: Southern flavors
  • Price: 298 Kč

Mike's Tip

Not for beginners! Complex as a 1,000 piece puzzle. Taken from the coldest area of the Casablanca valley, this is fine balance of tropical fruit and aging. The pineapple and butter are wrapped in a golden straw color coming from one year in oak barrels. Heavy and serious.

Mike's Tip

Light but bold, like a chardonnay should be. Look for pineapple and kiwi in that classic long buttery finish. An ideal Tuesday night wine for salmon and white rice, or even a chicken tikka!

Fresh and a medium full flavor of mixed white fruit and citrus. After a fruity front end, the finish is a bit acidic, so pair with cheese or white fish.

The characteristics of this chardonnay are out front, but also refined. Aged in oak, you will get a lot of butter and zest from the tropical fruit. Suitable for any occasion be it fish or grilled pork. This will satisfy any chardonnay lover.

  • Price: 300 Kč

Mike's Tip

Adventure. Like venturing into an unexplored place, Tannat is a grape you don't come across everyday. A bit tart, and high in tannins, look for black current and berries with a hint of oak and leather. Sound complicated ? Don't worry. This wine has collected more medals than your kids entire swim team.

Mike's Tip

I have said it before and will say it again, "Does Chile do a poor Sauvignon ?". 90 points for this elegant and spiced citrus "knife". Absolutely lovely and enough punch cut though any salty food your serving up.

Mike's Tip

Spicy, green and full bodied. When you get that mix of sweet, sour, earthy flavor in a good Sauvignon, it is just magic. This top of the line addition from Las Moras is just that. Bomba.

Mike's Tip

When a tried this, the first thing that came to my mind was the Chiquita Banana lady! If you don’t know her, picture the quintessential Samba singer in her costume with all that fruit on her head. Bananas and pineapple – an absolute delight.

Tola Grillo

Wine description:

  • Style: Light and refreshing dry white wine
  • Drink: Wine for immediate consumption
  • Supplier: CELLARIUS
  • Box: The Black Box
  • Price: 202 Kč

Mike's Tip

For me Grillo is a much oilier grape, with a finish that lasts a long time. Look for a bit more acidity and long tears on your glass when you swirl it around. Ideal with a cheese fondue or “white” meal with a higher % of fat.

Zorzal Malbec

  • Price: 314 Kč

Mike's Tip

Another big wine from Zorzal. Malbec is such an easy red to drink with its soft tannin and round, chocolate finish. This one grows at an altitude of 1300m in Mendoza Argentina. The altitude and dry climate make this a naturally occurring region for biological wines as bugs and mold don't like it [up there]. Not only is it good for you, but it also saves the winery a heap of $$$ on sprays.

  • Price: 314 Kč

Mike's Tip

First think to know about this wine, is there is no rush. The massive alcohol content and huge flavors will last for years. Or give this big gun a taste and order another carton to put in the cellar for special occasions. More round than fresh, but nowhere near the Chilean oaky sort that you may expect. This is a gem, be ready.

Mike's Tip

I wanted to include a Torrontes because it is typical to the region and it has a specific floral taste with a touch of fruit that will leave you searching. Think passion fruit and pineapple and top it off with a touch of acidity. lite and enjoyable.

  • Supplier: CELLARIUS
  • Box: Rich pickings
  • Price: 431 Kč

Mike's Tip

Flesh and leather, wood and fruit. This wine hits well above its weight. A blend of Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, this has a very specific nose that some may not find pleasant at all when you open it. But give it some time, and all those flavors come together. One of the top reds we have tried in 2016!

Alfredo Roca Syrah 2013

Mike's Tip

Full of blueberry and plums and very, very deep ruby color.. Syrah goes well with game or other heavy meats and strong stews. This is the kind of wine you pair with meals when you don't need to be productive afterwards :-)

Mike's Tip

Pleanty of fruit here and sweet tannins that almost jump out of the glass ;-). A great wine for burgers or other grilled red meat. Some also drink this red slightly chilled on a hot day. Experiment for yourself.

Cathar Joven 2014

Wine description:

  • Price: 272 Kč

Mike's Tip

Tempranillo for me is a hit or miss wine. Sometimes amazing, sometimes useful only for making svarak. Cather definitely falls into the former with a very mature well balanced taste unbelievably coming from a wine that next saw a barrel. Yes 100% steel tank. A wine that will go with most any food be it Wednesday meat loaf or Friday tapas. Easy and enjoyable.

Mike's Tip

Verus in latin means Truth, and this is as simple and fresh example of fine Sauvignon as you will find. Crisp and full of gooseberry and nettles, it leave that little earthy taste on the pallet after you swallow. This is the wild flavor Sauvignon gives!

Verus Furmint 2013

Wine description:

  • Country: Slovenia

  • Alcohol: 13%
  • Style: Medium-bodied dry white wine
  • Drink: Wine with potencial 2 to 5 years
  • Supplier: CELLARIUS
  • Box: Rich pickings
  • Price: 297 Kč

Mike's Tip

Known in Slovenia as Šipon, is a variet more known in Hungary for making sweet tokaji wines but also now more and more common as a dry wine. The special bit is that Furmint is very high in acidity and often extract, making it full of flavor yet still fresh and low in alcohol. Will go great with Asian food or simple grilled pork.

Mike's Tip

A simple, uncomplicated Veltin, full of freshness and acidity. Perfect with something light and salty or hard cheeses on a Tuesday night after work. Perfect for lunch among friends when you need something on the table.

Mike's Tip

Wow, this one come off a steep slope of red rocks in the Wagram, the home region of this variety. Given the warmer climate, red varieties are also grown here. Look for a real mix of fruits and honey. Complicated, very difficult to identify and 100% delicious.

Las Moras Black Label 2012

Wine description:

  • Country: Argentina
  • Grape: Cabernet Saugvinon
  • Alcohol: 14,5%
  • Style: Full-bodied, rich red wine
  • Drink: Wine suitable for aging
  • Supplier: CELLARIUS
  • Price: 395 Kč

Mike's Tip

Believe it or not, this was the most expensive Cabernet Franc based wine made in San Juan in 2012.
Fortunately for us it was cut with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon (so it would fir in out box :-). Coming from NW corner of Argentina, and growing in the foothills of the Andes. This is a hot dry area, but with a high elevation. I admit I am a Cabernet Franc lover, but this full bodies blend will not disappoint even the most discerning taste.

Las Moras Reserva

  • Price: 290 Kč

Mike's Tip

Aged in French oak for 12 months, this is a mature but freshly bottled full bodied wine that will keep for a good few years in the cellar. I am not a big Syrah fan myself, but I do appreciate it when it is blended. This was all Syrah in the nose but with a well tamed spicy character that will not over power you. Don't be fooled by it's age, this is a smooth character with plenty of alcohol to remind you in the morning .

Mike's Tip

Another amazing value. Even though this is Bodegas Añadas entry level wine, the reputation of the winery has placed them in some of the best Spanish restaurants in the world. This is a modern winery that hasn't forgotten about tradition. Care is the ancient name used by the Romans to refer to the town of Cariñena, where this winery is found. This wine tastes of red fruit and lots of pricy, mineral hints from the Crianza.

Malbec Alma Mora Las Moras 2014

  • Price: 239 Kč

Mike's Tip

Another great wine from Argentina. Don't take this the wrong way, but this was voted the "most consistently drinkable Super market wine in Argentina". Good enough for me! Not too jammy, this Malbec has a big red and black fruit taste with enough tannin to stand up to a big piece of protein.

Dogajolo Rosso 2013

  • Price: 289 Kč

Mike's Tip

This "Super Tuscan" may look familiar to some of you. I remember one bike trip in the mountains with some of you where this was on the table, and seeing this in Austrian markets many a time. This is a Sangiovese based wine, the the remaining 30% is a bit of a mystery as it varies every year depending on the harvest. Fresh and fruity, take this one with cold cuts and pork. A Vivino score of 3.6 means this wine is going to please.

Sileni Sauvignon Blanc

Mike's Tip

It is not often that we pick up tips from our members - this one was a real winner. Many thanks to Tomasz for the New Zealand tip of the year. This Sauvignon is exactly what you expect from a wine from that part of the world. The winery describes it as "Zingy"
and I couldn't think of a better descriptive word that few will understand :-) Think gooseberry and grass - perfect for fish of all types.

Mike's Tip

I love Veltlin for its mineral, earthy taste. Not really what I found here as this one was all about one thing - HONEY. A great sweet, acidic mix in the mouth that kept me coming back to bees and trees. This wine is a mouthfull, so don't expect a light drink. Bold and very round, pick your food wisely - pork or salmon.

OMG. I never thought I would say it, but a Chilean Chardonnay that I like ! What is happening here ?
First and most importantly, this wines never touched a barrel. Clean, fruity and much more the European style, this is another south American bargain. (to all our American friends who like it oakey - sorry ;-)

Mike's Tip

Of all the whites, this was my best value pick. You could not ask for a better nose on this organic Torrontes appropriate names "Mother Earth". Fresh and flowery like a good Torrontes should, this white wine variety is coming to define the Argentinian wine market and for reason. Take this wine with light food as it is very subtle. Avoid anything spicy or fatty cheese.
