Wiener Gemischter Satz mood in Russian. Finally got to the point of writing about my trip to Fritz #Wieninger's place #MyWork #AustrianWine #Russian #ByTheGlass by-the-glass.ru/gemischter-sat…

What I am saying is that Sandra Vezza has got the balls to go with such a #Barolo bottle and such a winery design. I love this craziness of #AstemiaPentita, to tell the truth

A great showing of Italian gems in St.Petersburgo 2 nights ago #ItalianWine. It's COVID times, but WHO says nothing about doing #wineTastings ;-)

Moscow and StPete's governments has ordered to close down HoReCa from 11PM till 6AM due to the pandemic rise. No total closure so far and hopefully this won't happen, but health comes first #covid19 #winebusiness #Russia

After a couple of online wine events it's clear: 1) masked in-person tastings are better than virtual tastings 2) any in-person tasting is better than an online tasting 3) online wine sessions are boring crap, a showcase of wine narcissism in most cases. What a waste of time

The Austrian #WineTasting in Moscow is an example of careful approach to in-person events during very hard times. The wines are served Anteprima "Chianti-Classico style", on request, in flights from 36 producers, in masks. Well done, #AustrianWine!

People are acting surprised that Prowein has been cancelled. No idea, why.

Russian Vice-Premier says we shouldn't drink for 42 days before taking the COVID19 vaccine. We can't even have a sip of Montrachet if we want COVID19 vaccine injection instead of Novichok... #HolyRussia

It's hard to see anything but political games behind the Russian wine industry. Wine assets are something oligarchs like to play with, land is the only real asset behind the operations in Crimea. Nobody gives a shit about farmers, of course. The Massandra sale is another proof

Lively #Baden wine from #FranzKeller. Never tried this producer before. Looking elegant and intense. Have anyone tried their top wines?

Sad about the news of John le Carré departure. If you haven't seen his The Constant Gardener, time to do it #JohnleCarré

In fact, I've met Steven in the South of Russia, the city of Krasnodar, during a wine competition years ago. A very unlikely place to actually meet a person known for organizing the famous Paris Tasting of '76 #StevenSpurrier

According to fresh info from the Austrian Wine Marketing Board, Russia is +131.5% volume, +112.9% revenue for Austrian Wines in 2020. That's what you achieve when you properly focus on the market #AustrianWine #RussianMarket #Russia

oh, my #Mendoza

Amazing: one of my favorite #winebooks is now in Russian: Chianti Classico: The Search for Tuscany's Noblest Wine. Happy to have been asked by Bill and Frances to proof-read! Chianti Classico #ChiantiClassico University of California Press (is on Bluesky) #work

VRN '22. Vineyards. Garganega. Pieropan. 1997 Calvarino. DEEP. #winetravels

when Ralph shows up with a new pic ;-)

After watching another wine region'23 ad: when FMCG run ads, they show the process of consumption. People drinking coffee, eating food. And enjoying it. No one ever shows rows of coffee/orange trees. Because no one really cares. What matters is the taste, the vibe, the occasion.

Every wine region has its merits and things to be proud of. Nahe's got quite a few. Showing some love for #Nahe wines. winedrnkr.com/nahe-wines-los…

Watch out, Canadians! #Porto #Canada #Flights
