Hope Springs Eternal

The Week In Review

Spring has arrived and while the weather isn’t co-operating we are preparing for the inevitable onslaught of fresh white and rosé wines heading our way.

Treve is in South Africa judging at the National Wine Challenge while back home we are turning out new reviews daily – over 450 since January 1. Our latest Top Ten looks at Italian Reds and Allison Spurrell our Cheese Dreams expert touts the tasty Jura Montagne. Our video series asking “What, if anything, does natural wine mean to you?” has garnered some amazing response. You can post your comments on the debate on our Gismondi On Wine Facebook page. Enjoy.
