Britt Karlsson — Sat, 27 Jul 2024 14:19:23 +0000

We have tasted two excellent wines from the beautiful coast of Tuscany. Tenuta Sette Cieli is located between Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci, 400 meters above sea level. The property is over 100 hectares, but only 15 hectares are vineyards. The climate is mild and seldom too hot. The grapes are cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, […]

Britt Karlsson — Fri, 28 Jun 2024 17:14:36 +0000

“BKWine Tastes”. It is a collection of wines we have tasted recently. It is often samples that producers have sent us to show us what they do or other bottles that we have come across at tastings or on our tasting table in the office. Sometimes we come across wines that are both unexpected and […]

A handful of delicious and very Italian wines from Vinonista

Britt Karlsson — Fri, 26 Jan 2024 11:41:05 +0000

Vinonista is a Swedish wine importer that has specialised in Italian wines from small producers. Vinonista primarily sells its wines through the so-called “on order range” (or assortment, as the Swedes like to say, “ordersortimentet” or “beställningssortimentet”). This is a special set of wines that can only be bought on-order from the monopoly shops. It […]

A good shot at finding the world’s best vranec / vranac wines | Per on Forbes

Per Karlsson — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 10:44:44 +0000

Was the Vranec Selection a wine competition that really did select the world’s best wine made from vranec (also spelled vranac)? There are many wine competitions focused on a single grape variety. The Syrah du Monde, the Chardonnay du Monde, the Sauvignon Selection by the CMB and others. They never really select the world’s best […]

BKWine Tastes: Red and white from the Rhône Valley

Britt Karlsson — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 13:12:12 +0000

The Rhône Valley has an enormous wealth of wines to offer. You will find wines here for most occasions. We have recently tasted wines from three prestigious appellations in the northern Rhône, Hermitage, Côte Rôtie and Condrieu. These are exclusive wines made in small quantities and priced accordingly. But sometimes classic elegans is just what […]

Some top wine producers from Australia and New Zealand show what they can do

Anders Åhlén — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 11:40:35 +0000

Impressions from a wine show with producers from Australia and New Zealand. Overall, the quality level was very high among the wines at the show, with both Australian and New Zealand wine producers. It is interesting that so many are adopting a more modern style in their winemaking. The jaminess, which is still there, has […]

Beaujolais Nouveau 2023 from Jean Foillard, a good choice

Per Karlsson — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 14:46:37 +0000

The release of beaujolais nouveau used to be a big event, the third Thursday in November. The very first chance to try this year’s wine. Today, it has lost some of its lustre, which is perhaps a good thing. That leaves more room for more ambitiously made Beaujolais. We found Beaujolais Nouveau 2023 from Jean […]
