Several wineries now make Garanoir-Gamaret blends which tend to give a wine that is easy to drink, more robust than a Pinot Noir yet lighter than the more tannic wines such as Syrah and Cornalin, which are popular as hearty reds in Switzerland.
Uncork now
Uncork now: Geneva Roussanne & Merlot
Geneva: What is changing is the steady recent climb in the number of unusual wines that you might not expect to find here.
Uncork now: Dôle, Cornalin
What to uncork, 10 January – January is a month when I’m not ready for heavy reds again -I want hearty vegetables, a bit less meat, plenty of exercise.
