After driving to the top of the Mont Ventoux, we drove (well, coasted) down again to visit Patricia and Joël Jacquet and taste our Domaine Grand Jacquet favourites: the poetically named ‘rendez-vous sous le chêne’ (meeting under the oak tree) and ‘juste avant les sangliers’ (just before the wild boars) - that’s how irresistible their ripe grapes are: it’s a battle to pick them when they are ready but before the wild boars eat them all. We’re in the Vaucluse, just the other side of Carpentras from the Rhône, but the flavour profile is similar - as is the blending of Grenache and Syrah.

Another must-visit for Gerrit Walter weingutwalter was Mandy Yin’s Sambal Shiok Laksa Bar in the Holloway Road. The wine-list is concise and, of the 3 wines, 2 of them are Gerrit’s: the white and the red - dry Riesling and Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir). Both perfectly suited to Mandy’s punchy, deep flavours served up by the wonderful team. Needless to say, we were the last to leave.

In the decades we have been visiting the Rhône, we have seen the Mont Ventoux countless times but had never been up it. We found ourselves with a few hours between our pickup in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and our next tasting at the base of the mountain. So up we went in the van. 20C at the bottom, 4C at the top. No wind at the bottom, high speed winds at the top. Bracing. Dizzying ascent even in the van. Amazing views. Can’t quite believe how many cyclists of all ages we saw ascending - and not all of them were E-bikes. We’re keen cyclists but….

Gerrit Walter’s dry Riesling is a staple on the winelist at the marvellous Six Portland Road, our destination for the post-tasting dinner. Well worth it despite the struggle getting everyone strapped into the Uber 😉. Packed when we arrived, needless to say, we were the last to leave. Thanks Six Portland for a fabulous dinner! weingutwalter

Very busy from the word go at Tuesday evening’s tasting featuring Gerrit Walter from the Mosel, Germany. Despite the low temperature, some were even standing outside. Top scorers on the night were the fruity Marienburg Riesling Kabinett followed by the sparkling Riesling Sekt tied with the first Spätburgunder. Thanks everyone for coming - and thanks for coming, Gerrit! Gerrit Walter weingutwalter

We based ourselves for three nights at John and Valeria Anderson’s beautiful B&B Mas de Carabelle in the hills above the southern Rhône valley. Eye-level with the Dentelles de Montmirail, every landmark and village in the southern Rhône and Ventoux is within easy striking distance. John and Valeria, originally from Seattle and New Jersey respectively, were frequent visitors to The Winery when they lived in Maida Vale before moving to France. John had a complete career change from accountancy to working in the kitchen at Lorne restaurant and then learning breadmaking at a bakery in Paris during Lockdown. They found and opened Mas de Carabelle in April 2022. They are wonderful hosts, know the area inside out - plus John is a super cook: the bread (particularly the Einkorn) is to die for.

A fabulous tasting with Anais & Francois Vallot in Vinsobres, previously one of the named Cotes-du-Rhone Villages and, since 2006, its own Rhone appellation like Gigondas and Vacqueyras. Francois reminded us that we first visited (and bought) in 2003 - wow, over 20 years. Certified biodynamic in 2007 – that’s the super-organic certification based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, involving cow horn, nettles and the lunar calendar. (This is a heavily abridged list btw). The wines are deep, textured and complex, good-to-go right now but supremely age-worthy. Not long to wait before they are back on our shelves - we are planning to pick up our next order early in the new year. Domaine Vallot - Le Coriançon

You are invited to our next tasting on Tuesday 19thNovember from 17.00-20.00h at our shop in Clifton Road W9 when we will be joined by Gerrit Walter from the Mosel valley in Germany.

Gerrit Walter has made our top-selling, benchmark, dry Riesling for almost 15 years. For many, it has been their introduction to the magic of dry Riesling - benchmark, crisp, racy Mosel Riesling, packed with minerals drawn from perilously steep, slate vineyards overlooking the river in the village of Briedel between Punderich and Zell.
Gerrit came to work at The Winery as an intern in 2009 while studying at Geisenheim, Germany’s top Wine Uni. He has been running his family’s winery in the Mosel valley and working the beautiful, periculous slopes for well over a decade. His wines just get better and better, no matter what the weather throws at him.
To celebrate the important part Gerrit’s wine has played at The Winery over the past decade and a half, the entire line-up is given over to his range. Sparkling Riesling Sekt, Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc), two dry Rieslings, a sweet Riesling Kabinett and his two Spatburgunders (Pinot Noir).

Meet Eve and Patrick Brunel of Château de la Gardine. We love their Tradition bottlings. Yes, they are very traditional - just the way we like it! We came back the following day to pick up two vintages of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, vigorous 2021 and plush 2011, the CDP white and Rasteau from their old vineyards.

10/11/2024

Greetings from Châteauneuf-du-Pape! We’re here to taste and fill the van.

We gave Sambal Shiok Laksa Bar Mandy Yin’s cookbook to friends last Christmas and imagine our delight when they made this amazing Eight Treasures Soup for us. It was fant-astic! What did we drink with it? Dry Riesling obvs. Martin Müllen’s Kröver Paradies Riesling Spätlese** trocken 2018. Just saying.

It’s Zinfandel Jim, but not as we know it! Cool, high altitude Zin, high above the Napa Valley: not jammy, more Rhône-like (if you can imagine a Rhône-like Zinfandel). We have been bringing in Green and Red since the late 1990s. Tobin Heminway is building on what her father Jay began back in the 1970s. House Zinfandel at Chez Panisse for decades. We were also very taken with the Syrah and Petite Sirah. Winemaker Aaron Whitlatch is doing a great job. Hoping we can get some on the water soon. Tobin and husband Ray were excited that Ridge Vineyards are doing their own bottling from one of Green & Red’s vineyards.

Bumped into the wonderful (wine icon) Jancis Robinson today and she mentioned that Dan Keeling (legend) Noble Rot Magazine had given us a great mention on Wine Lister. Thank-you! https://www.wine-lister.com/posts/post/words-with-dan-keeling-of-noble-rot

If you find yourself in or near San Francisco, head north over the Golden Gate Bridge to the excellent Strange Magic in Larkspur. Fabulous across the entire range with highlights in Burgundy (many sourced via our friends Becky Wasserman & Co.) Rhône and Italy. Plus you can get your DRY German Riesling fix here - still not widely available in the States. Super-friendly and very knowledgeable.

First stop White Rock in Soda Canyon off the Silverado Trail in Napa Valley. 26 years since our first visit. Father and son Henri and Christopher Vandendriessche in their sheltered vineyard and cellars carved out of the White Rock. Superb Chardonnay and Cabernet. White Rock Vineyards

Hello San Francisco, Gateway to California Wine Country! What’s new? Driverless cars, those are new. We’ve been in California for a couple of weeks.

It was great to have Nacho Leon with us at last night’s tasting in Fulham. Nacho makes Demencia and Pyjama in Bierzo on the Pilgrims’ Trail and Taruguin in Ribera del Duero. Top scorers Pyjama and Prinz dry Riesling were tied, followed by Taruguin. Thanks for coming!

You are invited to our next tasting on Wednesday 23rd October from 17.00-20.00h at The Winery Fulham, 797 Fulham Road, London SW6 5HD, when we are delighted to be joined by Nacho Leon who makes Demencia and Pyjama in Bierzo on the Pilgrims’ Trail and Taruguin at the east end of Ribera del Duero.
It makes it sound like Nacho runs a big operation but it really isn’t - Nacho started in 2006 with a handful of barrels in the corner of a friend’s winery but, while he does now have two locations and a few more barrels, it’s all still very artisanal: he does everything himself in the cellar and out in the vineyards.

We’ll be kicking off with Amyot’s Cuvée Reservee Champagne https://www.thewineryuk.com/growers/amyot/

and Reiner Flick’s gorgeous 2023 Nonnberg (Nuns’ Hill) - dry yet succulent.
