Spring is back in the air and that means lots of new vintages to taste, preferably in a special city. So we travelled to the French city of lights, where we were able to immerse ourselves in wines from around the world for three days during Wine Paris. It is so nice to meet all the online contacts live and taste their wines. - TEXT + IMAGE PERTI HOUWELING
Spring is in the air again
We then quickly moved on to Vila Nova de Gaia in Porto. This historic centre for port wine production is home to the World of Wine (WOW) project. As a wine and culture lover, you must have been here. WINELIFE investigated how the idea for WOW came to be realised.
Our next destination was the wine region of Rheinhessen in Germany. Here you will find the oldest vineyards in the world, with the most silvaner plants.
In our Buying Guide, you will find our recommendations for German wines that are playful and fresh. Nimble French wines are also featured in this edition. Pearls from Chablis, Beaujolais, Savoie and Loire take centre stage in the Coverd grape.
And now: the very popular sherry diet of the 1950s. Eating little and drinking sherry all day was the advice. Imports of this Spanish fortified wine soared to unprecedented heights while quality fell proportionately. It is high time for a comeback, hence our tips on the best sherry to pair with Spanish dishes.
Happy reading!
