Grimstad, Norway

Tenute Guicciardini Strozzi

Titolato Chianti Colli Senesi Sangiovese Blend

Is a very light but bold. Hint of very very sweet taste. Has a lovely bouquet. Over all very good.  it has a crisp around the edge with a dry aftertaste. Although we are in Norway, we can see Tuscany drinking this. This wine comes from a family fifth generation related to Mona Lisa  — 10 months ago

Maaemo, Oslo, Norway This wine was a wonderful pairing for all the meal courses. It's been over a year but I remember I loved the light, not-too-sweet tones. Simply lovely. — 7 years ago

Marqués de Riscal

Finca Montico Rueda Sobre Lias Verdejo 2015

The white wine served with the Hotel Marques de Riscal restaurants' (Michelin 1 star) "10th Anniversary Menu" during the following courses: "Vine shoots", "Black olives", "This land contained in a morsel", "Our croquettes", "Norway lobster carpaccio on a tartar of tomato, white garlic and red wine caviar", "Fresh grass or eating a high mountain meadow" and "Mediterranean. Cucumber, yoghurt, apple and fresh almond". Nice acidity on the wine which greatly complimented the food. See my other entry for the red wine and the courses it was served with. — 8 years ago

Baby Bandito Follow Your Dreams Carignan

First time knowingly trying a Carignan red. Fruit punch all the way! 👊🏾 Pleasant, bright, young South African natural with strong cranberry + raspberry noted and vibes. Excellent value. Sad to see this one is no longer being imported to Norway! — 8 years ago

Cheers from Bergen, Norway! An absolute picturesque spot for our vacation. Tonight, we visited Altona, a 400-yr old spot that has received 9 straight Wine Spectator awards for their phenomenal wine list.
I was shocked to see such a prestigious US wine on this wine list, and had to order a glass from this textbook vintage. Red currants on the nose and cigar box. Deep purple and long legs. On the palate, beautifully structured plum and cassis. This wine is GORGEOUS right now and has at least 10+ years before really peaking.
