Larmandier-Bernier

Latitude Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne

Xmas gift and a reminder that paths converge & split just as easily. Take lessons from your regrets & always push forward. And drink fucking delicious Champagne. #swc #valkyrieselections — 7 years ago

Tendil & Lombardi

Blanc de Noirs Brut Champagne Blend

Great acidity, white & red fruits, fine mousse and a long creamy finish. #swc #valkyrieselections — 7 years ago

Bodega Mustiguillo

La Garnacha

"Burgundian" sometimes appears in conversations on this varietal, but every now and then you actually find it. Near Valencia but could be from Pignan for all of its stemmy freshness. #swc #valkyrieselections — 8 years ago

Terre de Vertus 1er Cru Brut Nature Champagne Chardonnay 2009

Not a bad way to start a sales meeting. The '09s have so much potential for midterm cellaring. Or just pop them now. So precise and chalky, then the rich fruit pushes through. #valkyrieselections #swc — 7 years ago

Dit Celler

Cabirol Garnatxa Tempranillo Blend 2014

70% Garnatxa 30% Tempranillo 100% organic farming from the granite & slate of Montsant. Don't let the critter on the label deceive you with its doe eyes. — 7 years ago

Bodegas Riojanas

Viña Albina Gran Reserva Cenicero Tempranillo Blend 2001

One more from the #valkyrieselections tasting. So good I wouldn't pour it out to taste the 99. — 11 years ago

Nyetimber

Brut Rosé Champagne Blend

This really is more than it was hyped to be. I'm fully sold that top quality UK bubbles are as good as any sparkling wine from anywhere, including Champagne. #valkyrieselections #swc — 7 years ago

Brut Blancs de Blancs Chardonnay 2009

What an incredible introduction to real UK sparkling wine! I'm just blown away by the quality. Ridiculous. #valkyrieselections #swc — 7 years ago

Viña Godeval

Cepas Vellas Valdeorras Godello 2014

50yr old vines on slate give this rich but steely Godello a flinty edge. Orchard fruits and herbs read pleasantly green. Like a fleshy Chablis. #swc #valkyrieselections — 8 years ago
