Identity theft! Goron the grape reclaims its name

23/05/2016 by Ellen Wallace Leave a Comment

Goron was one of the first wines I encountered in Switzerland, in a little village café in Vaud 30 years ago: a little “3 deci” glass pitcher of a very basic wine from “abroad”, meaning from Valais, the neighbouring canton.

How one man changed the wine profile of Valais

05/04/2019 by Ellen Wallace 1 Comment

Wine education Switzerland hosts a number of educational classes, often with tastings, from schools and museums and various wine groups. They are a great way to learn more about the landscape of Swiss wines – the culture, history, heritage, geography and more. The 1001 lives of Dr Wuilloud Henry Wuilloud was the subject of an […]
