Wine reviews

Every third Thursday in November, France (and not only, since bottles of Beaujolais Nouveau are shipped around the world on the eve of the holiday) celebrates Beaujolais Nouveau Day – the young wine of the current vintage, which is the first to go on sale in the same year. And this is the only wine of a protected designation that can have a year on the label, while other wines of French appellations have not yet completed the production process and can only go on the market in a few months.

Here are some tips on what wines to look for and what wines will be an elegant accompaniment to a romantic evening.

If you haven't tried it, you've probably heard of blue "wine" - a relatively recent invention that, if it hasn't revolutionized the wine world, has certainly attracted attention.

This Barolo is one of the wines from my collection that requires patience, which will definitely be rewarded if you taste such beverages at the best moment, at the peak of their development. This bottle attracted my attention long time ago, but knowing the characteristics of Barolo and their potential for aging, I firmly decided to wait until it would have at least fifteen years old. It would be a shame to open such wine before it fully opens up. The reward for patience was a unique, harmonious wine with a strong structure and a complex, developed, but not faded bouquet.
