Flor del Montgó Old Vines Garnacha (nr 90418) 69 kr

 Detta vin på druvan Garnacha (Grenache) är från området Carinena som ligger strax utanför Zaragoza i provinsen Aragonien i norra Spanien.

Skörden på över 40 år gamla stockar har skett för hand i slutet på oktober med ett uttag på 25 hl/hektar, vinmakaren till detta vin är den unge Dansken David Tofterup som började på vineriet under 2002 och är idag ansvarig för Montgo collection med fokus på viner från Yecla. Jag ser fram mot fler viner från denna producent.
Doften är ungdomligt mycket fruktig och full av härliga röda bär med viss kryddighet

Smaken är medelfyllig med väldigt mjuka tanniner och massor av härlig bärig smak, lätt kryddad av fat och örter, kort med god eftersmak.

Hur kan man göra ett så här bra vin för 69 kr?



“There is an explosion of creativity and energy; I predict that Spanish wines will become the darling of

wine consumers throughout the civilized world”.

HAUT COUTURE THEODOR TEA

There is one tea in the whole world that continue to amaze me for its flavours and highest possible quality and that is THEODOR blended in France by the sheer genius Mr   Guillaume Leleu who started to blend his teas in a historic antique creamery from the 1800 at the place de Trocadero in the heart of Paris in 2002 . His passion for tea and flawless flavours took him around the world to source the best quality he could find and he blend all the teas by hand in the small village of Bonnieres s/Seine outside Paris with only natural ingredients that are all produced of sustainable methods and ethic ecological raw materials, THEODOR is also the only tea that the whole range is kosher certified to prove the highest standard possible. Mr Leleu constantly give us surprising flavours like, tomato, bell pepper, lemon, black pepper, cinnamon and so on. The THEODOR teas can be ordered for the Scandinavian market by Unic Atmosphere www.unictaste.se My favourite is the J.E. Milky Oolong a blac

Chateauneuf du Pape

Travelling thru Rhone valley is a true awakening for the spirit, a wonderful countryside, friendly people and fantastic wines in all the beautiful villages where my favourite is Chateauneuf du Pape, I could live there for the rest of my life so if anybody want to buy a small hotel that I can run J please get back to me. We started our trip in south of Rhone and travelled thru Banyuls and Rivesaltes where they have some of the best fortified wines in the world, nice stuff. The next stop was in Chateauneuf du Pape and the famous castle of the Pope, fantastic view from the old castle overlooking all the vineyards in the area. I meet up with the lovely young winemaker at Domaine du Pere Caboche Emilie Boisson who let us taste all of her wines, very nice and beautifully balanced wines where she used all of the 13 allowed grape varieties in her red blends. After a nice stroll in the small village it was time to try some more CnDP wines to really understand all of the greatness and

Culinary competition in Egypt

Image
 The last HACE EXPO her in Cairo showcased a wide range of suppliers and alo head the annual culinary competition held be the Egyptian chef association that invited myself to be a part of the judging team, It was great to se especially the young and female chefs showing skills and good attitude that was somewhat questionable by the fellow young gentlemen, to not win and accept is not in Egyptian culture. It was truly great to meet up so  many great guys and to know more people in the trade, some are very nice and some less but any how the output is positive for myself, and great enjoyment. What is nice is to be able to give the competitors proper feedback that will make them stronger and better next time they come back to compete, I want them to show that they learned something every time they spent time in the box. Thank you ECA for the invite and I hope to get a second chance later this year.
