Riqueza Branco Seco 2015
(Minho - Portugal)
10 Março 2025

Golden color. On the nose, aromas of ripe fruit, honey, dried fruit, accompanied by subtle notes of wood. Smooth in the mouth with good body and integrated acidity, showing complexity rather than freshness. Dry finish.

Dinner at Gloria Osteria Milano. Started with beef carpaccio and 24 month aged parmigiano reggiano along with zucchini flowers in a corn and rice batter with parsley mayonnaise. Followed by fresh egg tagliatelle with lobster and cherry tomatoes in a lobster bisque sauce. Accompanied by an exceptional 2022 Sassicaia. Another amazing lobster/seafood pasta paired with a Sassicaia!

Amazing but true - different cover crops are eliciting different flavour profiles within champagne 'vins clairs'. It’s part of a regenerative agriculture programme embarked upon by Champagne Perrier-Jouët that could change the face of the entire region. . https://t.co/w5wiAY55Ey

Japanese place recently opened in Grimbergen.
Excellent food, copious portions. Friendly service. Reasonably priced
Quite good Chardonnay Pays d’Oc (Narbonne), slightly too oaked.
Will return!

Bergman Estate is surrounded by state forest in the Spring Mountain AVA of Napa Valley, California. The level of detail in the estate’s vineyard establishment and management – guided by consulting guru David Abreu – along with the thoughtful cellar design, is clearly reflected in the wines. It perfectly captures the spirit of our latest report on Napa's mountain AVAs, where advanced viticulture is transforming typically intense, rugged mountain tannins into expressions of concentrated flavor and incredible freshness.

Pam Bergman (right) of Bergman Estate and her son, Brett (left), produced the Bergman Napa Valley Spring Mountain District 2023 (second bottle from right, second photo), which was the top-scoring bottle in our recent report on Napa’s Mountain Wines. It’s a deeply perfumed wine with a palate that is silken and ultra-refined with no hard edges, giving layer upon layer of fruit, spices, flowers and a savory finish.
