Wine maps, one of the best things in your wine study

Standard

There’s something about winemaps that makes them the best thing to study with. That’s what i believe. Nothing gives you more structure or understanding then to write the soil typs, elavation and grapes besides the designated area. Just look at this pictures below 😉

Rive Prosecco
Prosecco

With luck (and patience) you can find them on the official wine site of that region. Some are very usefull others just a little glips of how it looks.

Great maps you can use for your wine study are:

1.) Bubbly professor :great overall winemaps Print and add the info you need

2.) Quintin Sadler : More colourfull maps (need more inkt to print)

3.) Wine atlas: yes first book in the row. pretty sure you can find a lot here. By the famous Jancis Robinson and Hugh Johnson

4.) Pinterest: Because you can make your own map selection (click the link for mine 😉 )

And for those who can wait De Long is releasing some bundled maps in the near future check it out here

Sherry for every one..

Standard

One of the great wines with a lot of faces.

From bone dry (like the classic Tio Pepe) to allmost black and lucious sweet. Sherry has it all. And we haven’t looked at their taste profile yet. From silty to haselnuts from almonds to dried raisins. All in one glass or the subtile difference between them.

“The different styles make them a perfect serve for any occasion “

I believe infact that sherry is one of the great wines that can be served throughout your meal. From the first appitizer or tapas till your desert. Sherry can conquer it all, even after that save your best glass to enjoy on his own at the fire place.
