Book review: Roche et vin

28/02/2019 by Ellen Wallace 1 Comment

This is a wonderful book that gathers up several scientific threads from several fields and makes them accessible to a lay public. The subject: how geology has formed the landscape that gave birth to Swiss vineyards and thus Swiss wines and the impact of all of this on contemporary wines.

It isn’t so bad playing tourist while staying home. Enjoy my photos of the Patrouille Suisse airshow and light in the mountains, Crans-Montana.

Matter of taste 2019 walkabout, comparing wines

28/02/2019 by Ellen Wallace 2 Comments

This was a walkabout tasting of fine wines that let me compare different Swiss wineries’ Pinot Noirs. It was also an opportunity to make other types of comparisons among wines that have been given at least 90 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.

The Heart of the Matter

28/02/2019 by Ellen Wallace 1 Comment

Saturday I headed to Zurich for Matter of Taste, the fine wines walkabout organized by Robert Parker, which featured 600 wines from around the world that have received 90 or more points from Parker’s Wine Advocate. Most, in fact, have 92+ points. About 50 of these were wines from host country Switzerland.
