Sonoma wines
The day after our great dinner at Zazus we went cruising Sonoma. The landscape is asome and the small villages you drive by are soo beautiful. Now we only had one day so I just have to come back to explore the whole Sonoma for a week or two. The first winery we stopped at … Continue reading
Summer wine
One week in my summer house on the island Öland. Sun, beach and just relaxing with family. Late dinners and sipping summer wines. Went to the Systembolaget (state wine store) in Färjestaden to pick out some wines. Rosé is never wrong in the summer, Riesling from Kamptal Austria as well, and a light Morgon from … Continue reading

Häftig middag med Michel Jamais
Första gången jag träffade Michel Jamais var i höstas på Pontus by the Sea och Masiprovningen arrangerad av Livets Goda. Jag föll för hans okonstlade sätt att prata om vinerna och hans lite framfusiga men ärliga stil. Då konfronterade jag honom och bad honom komma upp till oss i Jämtland. I onsdags kom han och … Continue reading
Chablis och Champagne – Frankrikeresan III
Som tidigare dagar en tidig morgon. Denna gång var det Anna som försov sig och missade frukosten och fick rusa ut till oss andra och fick självklart höra detta under resan till Chablis. Men innan vår GPS fick en ny adress inmatad var det träff i vingården med Maurice från Albert Mann. Han pratade stolt … Continue reading
Besök hos Nusbaumer och Albert Mann (Frankrikeresan II)
Torsdagen började som sagt med en kort joggingrunda innan en helt ok fransk frukost. Första stop för dagen – Nusbaumer. Resan mot Steige, en liten vacker by som ligger i bergskedjan Vogeserna går på slingrande väg genom vacker skog och utsikt över Alsacedalen. Jag slås av att alla små byar vi passerar har kvar sin … Continue reading
