2017 white wines at Arvinis

26/04/2018 by Ellen Wallace Leave a Comment

People have been telling me that 2017 was a very good year for most Swiss wines and last night I rushed around (not ideal, but …leave yourself more time than I did) tasting some of them at Arvinis in Montreux.

Arvinis addendum: Cave Rodaline’s trio

26/04/2018 by Ellen Wallace Leave a Comment

Arvinis in Montreux, Wednesday evening: I visited Cave Rodaline’s stand to do a comparative tasting of their three terroir Petite Arvine wines, which I’ve wanted to do since my Combe d’Enfer hike in March among their vines, above Fully in Valais.

Getting back to wine work for me meant a weekend with three days of wine judging in Sierre, canton Valais, at the Mondial des Pinots. Pinot Noirs, of course, but we also judged rosés and blanc de Pinots, as well as Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris wines. In addition to judging we were taken on […]

How to learn French in a hurry: drink Swiss wine

28/03/2013 by Ellen Wallace

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – I’ve been following Ta-Nehisi Coates’s rollercoaster ride to speaking perfect French – he writes for The Atlantic, and I’m an old fan of the magazine. I suddenly realized he was going to be spending four days in Montreux, a serious crash course to maitriser la langue even though my sense of Montreux […]
