Just some short notes on Zinfandel. When the average Joe/Joan thinks of Zinfandel - it is usually the pink and sweet variety… something that the US w**e market labels as a “mom w**e”. People are quick to forget Zinfandel is actually a black grape variety that has Italian origins, and is also labelled as Primitivo. It is a ripe and bold red, with dark fruit notes and sweet spices. If you are keen to drink a good Zinfandel, rather go for a w**e of this nature- more particularly the Klinker Brick Zinfandel. Look for an old Vine Zinfandel from places like Lodi in the US. Old Vines are known for producing more concentrated fruit, which means that the w**e is bursting with fruit flavour. It is also gets full marks if it is bottle in the place of origin which is actually the case with this w**e, which was bottled in Lodi. This w**e is rich and delicious and went down as an absolute treat at a recent tasting event. If you are interested this w**e is retailed Lladaff, Cardiff.

Oh noooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂This has to be the funniest review of a w**e. My favourite bit is “lots of effort and a tiny bit of cat”. I feel like I should use this line the next time I am in a job interview and someone asks me to describe myself 😂😂😂😂 **efun **equotes🍷

What an absolute belter of a tasting. All that is missing from this picture is the welcome drink, being a fabulous cava, as well as a vermut used to close off the evening. It is so much fun picking the w**es and hosting an event like this. I love that this is my actual job!!!!! 😀😀😀😀 **etasting **epairing

NATURAL W**E - yes or no? Market trends show that natural w**es are on the up - with more health conscious consumers opting for w**es containing less nasty sulphites and other odd ingredients used in the fining and filtration of w**e. But on my initial search for natural w**es when they first started becoming popular, I was disappointed to find that a lot of natural w**es or low Sulphite w**es did not seem to pass muster or were difficult to find or prohibitively expensive. Fast forward a few years and there are some fabulous examples of natural w**es to choose from - one example being this Le Naturel red. It is 100% Garnacha from Navarra in Spain. Expect candied red fruits, bramble and sweet spice. On first taste expect a bit of tannins, but with a bit of decanting this w**e was delish! For this and more w**es like it - check out the new Wicked Vintner store in Llandaff **e **e
