What Is Your Wine I.Q.?

[Harry Cobean]

Harry, Buon Giorno,

I would enjoy having a sampling, however, I have to check about www.lavinia.es the French owned and operated wine retailer ... Sounds interesting.

Yes, it is quite true about the Friars, Monks & Priests ... They have been enjoying their wines since time memorial ... In Navarra and La Rioja, some of the best wineries are located in Monasteries !

Thanks for the recommended ... The Kray Bros. have done it again ! ?

Have nice wkend too ... Ciao.
Margi.

You actually still have an I.Q. after drinking wine? For two people, go cheap after the first bottle as it all tastes the same then.

Oh Craig, I so agree!

In theory, I agree, but I find there is more acid unpleasantness with cheaper wines.

Tax Lady,

The titled Rosé, is the Rosé from Winery Rene Barbier ...


What about Brut or Extra Dry Cavas for example, do you like Rosé that is a Sparkling Wine ?

Which Portuguese Rosés do you enjoy ?

What about PROTOS ROSÉ ? It is from Valladolid, Castilla León - Spain


do you like LAMBRUSCO ROSÉ ? ( emilia romagna - italia )

Margi.

I have liked every Portuguese rosé that I have ever tasted.

The ones currently available at the SAQ are Mateus and Casal Mendes. They haven't carried Casal Mendes for about 20 years, but I remember drinking a lot of it then. I have some in my fridge now. I do like Mateus too.

Last night we had a French, crackling rosé, Royale de Neuville. That's an old standby for me too. Those bubbles do add a certain festiveness.

i do think portuguese wines are underated for some reason,IMO a good douro or touriga nacional(tesco used to do a belter but don't stock it now)is hard to beat.
glad you like mateus tax,it's certainly stood the test of time!
