Chez Coste 2023 (12.5%). Kicking off 2025’s journey through the wines of the Loire with @amicdelvi.bsky.social. A beautiful expression of the Gamay St-Romain variety by Domaine Sérol. Lovely purity and transparency. Supple tannins, texture and hint of spice. A graceful and delightful wine.

One of the most impressive wines we tasted last weekend in Jerez de la Frontera. ‘Caberrubia’ Fino (14.5%) by Bodegas Luis Perez. An unfortified fino made from a blend of different vintages from the La Barajuela parcel. Rich, concentrated and savoury with a long, long finish. Really outstanding.

Delicious Fino de Heredad de Hidalgo by Bodegas Hidalgo la Gitana. An unusual edition from Club Contubernio: a Fino made by a sanlqueño bodega. The palomino grapes come from a vineyard inside the boundary of Jerez, and the wine has a more jerezano Fino character than a Manzanilla from Sanlúcar.

The Finca Meixeman 2020 by Adehas Guímaro in DO Ribeira Sacra was quite stunning last night. 80% Mencía with 20% Brancellao, Merenzao, Garnacha, Mouratón, Negreda and Sousón. Such a fine, elegant and seductive wine. One of the best drops of 2024.

La Renacida 2020 from Bodegas Finca Museum in DO Cigales. Field blend from an old, recovered vineyard at 800m.Tempranillo, Albillo Mayor, Garnacha,Verdejo, Garnacha Blanca, Bobal and Mencía all co-fermented. There’s ripeness and concentration, yet it’s surprisingly lively, complex and agile.
