Thomas Barton Reserve Sauternes 2008"The exception proves the rule - an eminently affordable Sauternes delivering all that delicious succulent concentrated semillon. And do note that unlike most of its peers, that price is for the full bottle. (Independant wineshops at around €20).

Partager Reserve Merlot 2010
87 pts. The Partager label has been in our market for decades so it was due for a makeover. This wine is varietally labelled as merlot and vintage dated 2010 and comes from Pays d'Oc in the south of France and is a great buy. Expect a deep purple red with mild aromas of black and red berry fruit. It is full bodied and flavourful with a long dry finish. It needs some juicy grilled meat or rich cheese for best enjoyment. Decant for an hour before serving. Best 2012 to 2015. Tasted October 2011.

Visita a Chateau Magnol, Barton & Guestier - Burdeos 23 Octubre 2011
Privilegiadamente bendecidos por haber sido elegidos en representación de CASA OLIVEIRA, un selecto grupo de destacados Sommeliers Venezolanos, asistimos el pasado 23 al 28 de Octubre a la sede de Barton & Guestier, Chateau Magnol, Burdeos, Francia, con el fin de instruirnos, ampliar nuestros conocimientos del vino, ahondar sobre vino Francés y sus Apelaciones de Origen, conocer y visitar bodegas notables de la región, sus viñedos, sus procesos de vinificación, sus productos, sistemas de mercadeo y distribución de sus vinos.
La experiencia fue única e irrepetible, en lo personal, pienso irla relatando y compartiendo día a día con ustedes en próximas entregas, no sin antes hacer los merecidos agradecimientos a quienes permitieron que nuestro sueño fuera posible.
