2018 Swiss wines: young Valais wines tasted in May

25/10/2019 by Ellen Wallace Leave a Comment

Les Glorieuses is a series of wine tastings held on four Mondays in May every year in Martigny. It’s open to wine and food professionals and tends to attract many sommeliers – Mondays were chosen because that’s the day when many restaurants are closed and sommeliers have a day off. I made it to two […]

There is a lot going on – far too much to list everything – in our little Swiss wine world. I’m having to say no to a trip to Zurich for the mega event, Expovina, which opens today. Too much going on, but I would go if I could, and so should you. Meanwhile, closer […]

The many shades of Arvine: a tribute

23/04/2018 by Ellen Wallace 1 Comment
