The Team is back with a cracking tasting. Seven members and Petros Skarmoutsos MC in the house! Farsonsdirect sponsored an absolutely stellar 🍷lineup🍷of wines, with legendary-level producers such as Egon Müller and Chateau Grillet plus benchmarks like La Spinetta for Barbaresco, Quinta do Noval for Douro, Roda for Rioja, Shafer for Napa, Brancaia for Chianti, Berlucchi for Franciacorta, Royal Tokaij, Norton for Mendoza, Faiveley for Marsannay and Chavy Chouet for Meursault. What a treat! We started strong, nailing the Franciacorta, the Mosel Riesling and the white Rioja. The amazing Grillet and the Meursault were just too good to focus on scoring. Among the reds we got the Malbec and the Napa but we scored some points in other wines too. A respectable total of 113 points with 10 rated wines. We called the Barbaresco a Xinomavro probably as a nod to Petros- but we were so wrong! Team favourites: all of them really. The Riesling, the Grillet and the Touriga are just insanely good.
