Rasteau ends radio silence

4/3/2015

Apologies for the recent radio silence, my dear readers. There's often much more on my Facebook page

I could make excuses about technogy problems, but the fact is, I've been revisiting old favourites, writing too much about wine for others, and sadly, drinking some rather uninspiring wines.

But today was different - and not a moment too soon.

Thank you to the dear friend who carried this gold medal winning Rhône gem from Rasteau.

A Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre blend from an appellation formerly known for rather rustic wines, La Domelière is full, rich and full of spice and blackberry flavours. I love it.

I love how wine connects us to friends and places. Wines like this do it best.

Please share your own reviews of surprising or pleasing wines on our Facebook page, or let me know if there's something I should be sampling via Twitter

And medal winner or not, if you're proud of a wine you make or supply, and want to share it with my readers, here or in the sites I write for, feel free to submit samples.

Cheers!

My name's Heather and I've been enjoying wine for over 20 years. I'm the 2013 winner of the Wine and Spirit Education Trust Rhone prize for oustanding students at the advanced level.
My mission is to share my passion for the myriad varieties of fermented grape juice, hopefully inspiring you to try something new, or to host a Purple Teeth wine party in your own home or business.

My blog mainly features wines you should be able to find on your local high street or online, and occasionally, I will review restaurants, travel and other forms of alcohol, since my qualification covers spirits too. I believe it's important to enjoy the calories and the cash we spend on alcohol, and I hope my guidance can help you reduce the risk of making a bad buy.

When I'm not drinking wine, you'll find me on the dance floor where West Coast Swing is my dance of choice. Socialising with the friends I've made there from all over the world has also brought me new adventures in alcohol! And just in case you're interested, I also write a blog called Confidence Within. You'll find it at heatherharrison.weebly.com

Remember to enjoy wine sensibly...
For a woman, 2-3 units per day is the recommended maximum allowance. This equates to around one standard "pub measure" glass of wine:
175ml of 13% alcohol wine is 2.3 units (and a scary 140 calories).
You'll find all the facts you need about safe, moderate drinking at the www.Drinkaware.co.uk site.
Purple Teeth supports safe drinking. Never drive or operate machinery after drinking alcohol.
