A throwback from last weekend… we enjoyed this Pasqua Desire Lush & Zin Primitivo wine, in company of very good friends and a delicious italian-themed tagliata. Primitivo is one of my preferred grapes, due to its intense flavour as well as dark colour. I had never heard of the winery before, however following the recommendation from our friends at Pop […]
The famous Speyside distillery never fails to amaze even the pickiest of whisky lovers, and Glenfiddich Special Old Reserve Pure Malt is proof of that. In this case, the fresh and fruity nose, a Glenfiddich specialty, is complemented by coconut shavings and a bit of nuttiness. The taste is mostly sweet, but with slight herbal and bitter oak notes topped […]

It is aged in American oak casks using the traditional system of soleras and criaderas and is a global icon of sherry wine. It gained absolute notoriety thanks to the comedy series Frasier, whereby the siblings regularly shared a glass of Sherry.
Yesterday, we opened this wonderful, locally produced, 2018 Cheval Franc from Marsovin. Personally, I love everything about this bottle of wine. The strong body, dark red colour and the flavours really make it an excellent wine for all occasions. No wonder it is “the highest-priced wine made from Cabernet – Syrah/Shiraz in Malta” (Wine-Searcher). Really looking forward to compare it […]
