Lush. Rich. Concentrated

There is Braille on the label and I would love to know what it is saying, and the significance of why it’s included.

This Syrah is from Northern Rhone. There is a silky texture and decently long finish. It has a lovely full-bodied sense.


South facing slopes with soil consisting of a mixture of clay, pebbles and gravel. The alluvial terroir of Crozes-Hermitage was formed by terraces from the Rhône and Isère rivers.


The red Crozes-Hermitage “Les Meysonniers” comes from the vines which are at least 25 years old.

The ‘will buy again’ chart.


What we really appreciated was the ‘lack’ of citrusy’ overtones.  There are definite hints of apricot and pear.

It’s very refreshing.


it took us a little by surprise, because, to us, Chenin Blancs don’t usually stand out when by themselves.  They always add to the roundnesswhen added to other whites for a blend.

Walking Across the length of Afghanistan, just after the fall of the Taliban.


I enjoyed many parts of it, but the arrogance and sense of entitlement of the author really bothered me at times. But it’s still a good read about burning shoe leather in search of adventure because there are lots of lessons to be learned.


It’s not a travel book, and it’s certainly not a Civics lesson.  Instead, I’d call it a learning experience of what he encountered, and how it changed his perception and attitude towards the region.


A most worthy read.

Reasonably priced, organic, and one of our favourite white grapes.


It’s a reminder that organic doesn’t have to be expensive.  Vintage after vintage, Micel Torino’s wines continue to impress with ripe, fruity flavours and a lingering dryness. 


 Extreme elevation, hot days, cool nights, and minimal rainfall allow for minimal human interference to the natural growth cycle of the vines. Bordered by 2 mountain ranges, the Calchaqui valley creates a microclimate ideal for this grape.


Certified organic grapes, sustainable and Fair for Life. Michel Torino is committed to preserving the natural environment of the Calchaqui Valley. Certainly gets our approval.


Pick up two bottles – you’ll come back to it sooner than you think.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many countries to carry out travel restrictions, lockdown areas, and close public places, including tourist destinations such as zoos.

Like in the Zoo Cologne, Germany. Since the COVID-19 pandemic took place, the zoo here has been closed. There is practically no income for the zoo.

This condition brought ideas for the young pianist from Germany, Thelonious Hermann. Carrying his piano, he played the musical compositions he made for the zoo animals.

And, Thelonious also received a warm welcome in every cage of the animals who were entertained by playing the piano. Starting from elephants, giraffes, goats, monkeys to sea lions.

The penguins, who heard the piano, immediately lined up, as if listening to Thelonious’ play. Meanwhile, the sea lions seemed to be dancing happily in the water, when Herman played the piano near them.

Selected from the DW Travel Facebook page, Thelonious did this to collect donations for the Cologne Zoo. Under the ‘Stadtgeklimper’ project, Thelonius toured 18 countries in Europe.
