Cousiño-Macul Vertical Tasting
A vertical tasting of Cousiño-Macul Antiguas Reservas Cabernet Sauvignon, with video
I much prefer to go to technical tastings rather than winemaker lunches or portfolio tastings. You don’t have to be witty, chatty, or even civil, you can just taste the wine, write some notes and head home. That said, there is a place for the lunches and the dinners, but those are usually more about the people involved than the wines.
Tasting Henriques and Henriques Madeira
Tasting Henriques and Henriques wine on another great day in Madeira
After a full weekend of seeing the sights, I spent Monday with Humberto Jardim, the chairman of Henriques and Henriques Madeira. Heading to Câmara de Lobos in the early morning, we had a chance to visit the whole operation – tanks, barrels and the aging and the blending areas. While most wineries have their wine aging in gloomy cellars, in Madeira, you can have barrels aging in front of large picture windows or in the attics, rather than in a cool basement.

It takes a lot of work to move more than 3000 bottles of wine from the offices of Wine Access to MacEwan Hall at the University of Calgary. It takes even more work to get all those wines sorted, ordered and stickered for our panel to taste and judge.
