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.

Most, in fact, have 92+ points. About 50 of these were wines from host country Switzerland.

Chasselas has also inched onto Jancis Robinson’s radar, and Hugh Johnson was talking happily about it back […]

Former Vinum editor to Parker

13/05/2014 by Ellen Wallace Leave a Comment

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND – It took years for the gurus at Robert Parker to discover Swiss wines, but when they did, in the form of David Schildknecht, the result was gratifying, with several wines noted very highly.
