SOMMELIER RECOMMENDATION Our team of sommeliers are more than happy to share their most recent discoveries in the world of wines. COCKTAIL - GRAZIE A CAMILLO NEGRONI ! Barrel-aged Negroni Legend has it that in the year 1919 Count Camillo Negroni was in dire need of a twist to his favourite cocktail. 'The Americano'. His bartender Fosco Scarselli substituted the soda part with Gin and as they say…the rest is history. Fast forward and the year is 2020 and we as Dinner by Heston Blumenthal Sommeliers couldn't resist creating our very own Negroni by carefully aging it in our 5 litres Whisky barrel for a few weeks. See if we succeeded. Dinner NEGRONI £21,00 CHAMPAGNE - FATHER AND SON ! 2007 Thienot 'Cuvée Stanislas' Blanc de Blancs, Brut, Reims, France It takes real nerve to set up your own Champagne House, the very first Houses such as Veuve Clicquot, Bollinger & Moët & Chandon began their existence more than three centuries ago. In 1985 Alain Thienot showed not only courage but more than 20 years of experience as a wine broker. His in-depth knowledge of the vineyards and region with the help of his son Stanislas created this complex yet still refreshing Blanc de Blancs. Try with our Meat Fruit. Bottle (750ml) £ 165,00 WHITE - WHEN YOU HAVE PLAYED THE GAME SINCE 1385 ! 2018 San Giovanni della Sala, Orvieto, Castello della Sala, Umbria, Italy 26 generations of Antinori and yes, that may sound a touch 'old-fashioned' but very few wine families in the world have preserved their heritage so well whilst remaining so innovative at the same time. This intriguing blend of Grechetto Procanico, Pinot Bianco and Viognier is a contemporary representation of an classic Orvieto. Fresh, vibrant and truly wonderful with our Smoked Cured Salmon. Glass (125ml) £ 13,00 Bottle (750ml) £ 65,00 WHITE - THE DIVERSITY OF SAUVIGNON BLANC ! ENHANCED SAUVIGNON BLANC SAUVIGNON BLANC + SEMILLON 2018 Clarendelle Blanc 2013 'La Clarté de Haut Brion Blanc Inspired by Haut Brion (2nd Wine from Haut Brion & La Mission Haut Brion) 'Refreshing, aromatic & floral' 'Sublime, layered & in a class of its own' Glass (125ml) £ 14,00 Glass (125ml) £ 48,00 Bottle (750ml) £ 69,00 Bottle (750ml) £ 285,00 RED - THE WOLF OF SONOMA! 2017 Pinot Noir, Kutch, Sonoma Coast, California, U.S.A. In 2005 Jamie Kutch left his job as a NASDAQ trader with Merrill Lynch to follow his life dream. He moved to California and started to produce Pinot Noir; the result is truly delicious. The initial response to his wines were very positive, and he quickly became one of the new front runners in the Pinot race. The wine has lovely floral red fruits on the nose with a subtle green hint. The palate is elegant with really fine-grained tannins. A delightful combination for our Duck & Turnip. Glass (125ml) £ 31,00 Bottle (750ml) £ 155,00 RED - RICH, RICHER…NUMANTHIA ! 2014 Numanthia, Bodega Numanthia, Toro, Spain In 134 B.C the residents of 'Numancia' resisted Roman invaders, choosing to die over surrender. Fast forward to today, these resistant old vines are in an equally extreme situation having to endure harsh winters and scorching summers. The result is a wine with structure, intensity and incredible balance. Clearly the King of Toro. Divine with our Hereford Ribeye. Glass (125ml) £ 28,00 Bottle (750ml) £ 139,00 SWEET - THE CHARM OF CHENIN BLANC ! 2010 Coteaux de l'Aubance, 'Grandpierre', Domaine du Bablut, Loire Valley, France Domaine de Bablut has been producing wine since 1546 in the Aubance, an area directly south of Angers. The estate is committed to making sweet wines from Chenin Blanc grapes, that are scrupulously select from pure botrytis grapes. The wine shows detectable flavours of honey, lemon zest and yuzu followed by notes of toast and caramel. A charming and delightful pairing with our Tipsy Cake. Bottle (750ml) £ 109,00 - 1 - This wine list has been passionately created by Stefan Neumann MS - Director of Wine & Vincenzo Arnese - Head Sommelier & Wine Buyer & Philipp, Antony, Dion, Pablo and Pietro - Our sommelier team - 2 - CONTENTS The discovery of a wine is of greater moment than the discovery of a constellation.

    10.2.2020 EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union C 44/15 Publication of a communication of approval of a standard amendment to a product specification for a name in the wine sector referred to in Article 17(2) and (3) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33. (2020/C 44/07) This communication is published in accordance with Article 17(5) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33 (1). COMMUNICATING THE APPROVAL OF A STANDARD AMENDMENT ‘Coteaux de Saumur’ PDO-FR-A0179-AM01 Date of communication: 13 November 2019 DESCRIPTION OF AND REASONS FOR THE APPROVED AMENDMENT 1. Geographical name ‘Supplementary geographical name’ has been reduced to ‘geographical name’ in Chapter I points II and XII(2)(b). A number of the product specifications for Loire Valley wines allow the use of what is known as the ‘eponymous geographical designation’ — ‘Val de Loire’ — to refer to this wider region. The use of this term on wine labels is subject to specific rules laid down in those product specifications. As the term ‘supplementary geographical name’ is also used in some cases to denote smaller geographical units with more restrictive production conditions, the word ‘supplementary’ has been removed in order to prevent confusion. Point 9 of the Single Document, ‘Further conditions’, has been amended accordingly. 2. Geographical area The passage concerning the geographical area now reads as follows: All stages of production must take place in the geographical area, which spans the territories of the following municipalities, based on the 2018

Research by Pitch Communicatie & PR Amsterdam, September 2017 2018 Millésime MONDIAL DU VIN BIOLOGIQUE WORLD ORGANIC WINE FAIR 1 29.30.31JANVIER JANUARY MONTPELLIER FRANCE PARC DES EXPOSITIONS EXHIBITION CENTRE www.millesime-bio.com Association Interprofessionnelle RÉSERVÉ AUX PROFESSIONNELS I FOR TRADE ONLY METHODOLOGY This report shows the trends, expectations and developments in the area of organic wines on the Dutch market. In order to be able to assess the image of organic wines in the Netherlands, 409 wine consumers participated in an online survey last summer. Questions ranged from the average amount of money spent to the motivation for purchasing organic wines. In addition, qualitative research was carried out among eight renowned Dutch professionals from the world of wine. They were asked how they believe the consumer perceives organic wines. Pitch PR, a Dutch wine and food marketing agency, carried out this trend research in association with Sudvinbio, the Occitanie professional association of organic wines, and organizer of Millésime Bio. In a short introduction, we look at what is already published about organic wines in the Netherlands. Then quantitative research, in association with WINELIFE Magazine, is carried out among Dutch wine consumers. This means that the questionnaires are completed by people with an above-average interest in wine, not the average Dutch wine consumer. The online survey is disseminated via LinkedIn, Facebook and various lifestyle blogs. With all analyses, the question concerns the opinion of the consumer in retail, not in the out of home industry.

    With Burgundy en primeur upon us, Decanter has listed the top Burgundy producers, based on the best known and most expensive as a starting point. Look out for all the Burgundy 2014 en primeur tasting notes on Decanter.com later this month. image: http://keyassets.timeincuk.net/inspirewp/live/wp-content/uploads/sites/34/2015/12/Vines- at-Romanee-Conti-630x417.jpg Romanée-Conti vines TAGS:News Home Burgundy is an area in France famous for its world class red and white wines produced from the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Complex Burgundy hierarchy The hierarchy of Burgundy, to some, is considered complex. Burgundy lovers can struggle to learn firstly the commune or village level wine names, then the Grand Cru vineyards and finally the Premier Cru vineyards. A recent piece by journalist John Elmes, who is currently learning about wine for the first time with the WSET, was in high contrast to the in-depth piece by Benjamin Lewin MW on Burgundian classification. It served as a reminder of the breadth of knowledge needed to understand the Burgundy classification system. Burgundy producer types Due to this complexity, finding your favourite Burgundian producers can be much more fruitful in the long term when purchasing wine. This, once again, is not a simple as it sounds. The Burgundian wine trade is split in two between growers and négociants. This has arisen due to a law attributed to Napoleonic times – the laws of equal inheritance. When applied to the vineyards of Burgundy, over time, it has meant that individual growers may only own a small row of vines.

    Back to Rust This blog is about the second study block at the Austrian Wein Academy. If you want to read the story about the first block of 10 days in May send an e-mail to [email protected]. Luckily there is a result of the first exam and that has been passed with merit: Viticulture and vinification is in "the pocket". During this block there are two exams on the program: sparkling wine and fortified wine. Vienna from the air Landed in Vienna Wednesday evening I land at the airport in Vienna and I have already ordered a taxi to go to Rust. It is just over an hour's drive from the airport. Around 21:00 hours I arrive at my apartment, not too far from the Wein Academy. The stork's nest that I can see from the bathroom window is no longer inhabited. During the first block in May it was inhabited by a stork couple who occasionally rattled loudly. And it is already dark and after I have unpacked my suitcase it is time to dive back into the books to prepare the exams of ashes on Monday. Both exams are about making tasting notes of 3 wines and there are also some questions you have to answer about the wines and then there are 3 to 4 theory questions with often sub- questions that you have to write down everything you know. These are all open questions. So you need to know the material well in order to be able to answer the questions correctly.

  • 250 Years Since the First Rosé Champagne

    250 Years Since the First Rosé Champagne

    250 years since the first rosé champagne Ruinart, the first established Champagne House, founded in 1729, has been shipping rosé champagne since 1764. The House’s account book is the proof. On 14 March 1764, it is written that there was a shipment of «a basket of 120 bottles, 60 bottles of which were Oeil de Perdrix». What is the connection between birds of the Gallinaceae family and the early history of the oldest Champagne House? In fact, the term «Oeil de Perdrix» means a colour which could be described as a delicate pink with coppery reflections. There’s no longer any doubt. Ruinart shipped its first bottles of rosé champagne in 1764. 250 years : such a fabulous anniversary in so many ways, an historic date which links Ruinart forever to the history of champagne. The account books, various correspondence and the accounts of the heads of the House have allowed us to discover a multitude of varieties and oenological trials in search of taste, flavour and the ideal colour. What was in all probability a rosé from maceration at the beginning would then evolve to become a blended rosé. Ruinart explored various ways of obtaining a coloured champagne, for example by using the colouring of some elderberries. The palette of colours for these wines was very large. There were a number of terms to define them in French: roset, oeil de perdrix, rozet, paillé (straw), clairet (pale wine) and even cerise (cherry). Towards the end of the 18th century, the expression «Oeil de Perdrix» disappeared in favour of names closer to those we use: rozet and then rosé.
  • Wine in Netherlands

    Wine in Netherlands

    CBI Competition: Wine in the Netherlands CBI | Market Intelligence Product Factsheet Cloves in Germany | 1 Introduction Due to concentration in the Dutch market, large retail chains have a strong position. Combining low prices with suitable qualities for the target segment is their prime objective, especially in the low and middle price segment. Nevertheless, the growing interest of the consumer in new varieties and unknown wine countries increases the export opportunities for developing country producers. Market entry Listing fees remain high It can be very costly to buy yourself into the Dutch market due to listing fees charged by supermarkets. In addition, most Dutch supermarkets do not want to see “their” brands in other channels. Tips: If you are a new entrant, do not supply supermarkets or retailers directly; rather supply wine to importers. Importers can generally mitigate the risks of directly trading with supermarkets. Importers can also help you spread risks by supplying your wine to multiple market channels under different brands. Small companies with a supply capacity of 10 thousand to 30 thousand bottles annually of each wine can find smaller importers in the EU who prefer to buy exclusive wines for which they are the only importer and distributor. Exclusivity motivates importers to work with you. Suppliers better prepared for market entry The bargaining position of producers and importers can be further improved by developing the regional market. It can serve as a good stepping stone for entering the European market as producers/exporters usually have better knowledge of these markets, allowing them to improve their quality and services.
