There will always be wine.

Through all the hardships, wine endures. It"s easy to think that when life is brought to an abrupt halt, the

same happens with wine production. Yet, as with our key workers, delivery drivers, hospitality workers and so

many others, so the life cycle of the vine and the role of the viticulturists and winemakers continues day in,

day out, ensuring the ongoing production of our favourite liquid on earth.

Conveniently, the best way we can celebrate and thank all of those involved is the same thing we"ve been

doing for the last 16 years here at Vinoteca. To search, source, taste, slurp, appraise & select the most

exciting, distinctive & brilliant wines for our new list.

Here are just a few:

Etna Rosso 2018 from Benanti in Sicily. Mt Etna"s lava in a glass.

Arbois Savagnin 2016 from Domaine Daniel Dugois in France"s Jura region. Mind-bending, like wine from

another planet.

2016 'Hill of Grace' Eden Valley Shiraz from Henschke in South Australia"s Eden Valley. The most

expensive wine we"ve ever listed but worth every penny for this liquid perfection. Riesling GG Wehlener Sonnenuhr 'Devon' 2011 from S A Prum in Germany"s Mosel. The secret of eternal youth.

Petite Sirah 2015 from Fog Monster in California"s Eld Dorado county, on the slopes of the Sierra foothills.

A fantasy wine.

Gewürztraminer 2016 from Domaine Rolly Gassmann in Alsace. Not made from grapes. Made from Turkish

Delight.

Crystal' Croatina Pet Nat 2020 from Renegade in sunny Bethnal Green, Greater London. But made Pacherenc du Vic Bilh Sec 'Ode d'Aydie' 2019 from Famille Laplace in the South West of France.

Mondeuse 'et ma goutte de...' 2019 from Denis & Didier Berthollier in the French Alps. Dreamlike light

So you can relax. Wine is as magical as it ever was. And dare we say it, more exciting than ever?

Share our excitement. You know where we are.
