Four whites and a Pinot Noir

Santa Tresa Rina Ianca Grillo Viognier 2020 Sicilia (organic, 13.5% abv): Another delicious Grillo-based bottle from Sicily - click here and here for more of those - this time with 30% Viognier added, which ups the exotic apricot and peach flavours with full palate weight, yeast-lees edges and appealing amount of freshness. Wine Society £8.25.

Welcome to my random web of succulent wine tasting and travel features, winery profiles small and large, 'wines of the moment', conversations with winemakers and atmospheric regional guides. All stamped by my take on planet vino and some of the people who populate it. There's also a hint of culinary talk, restaurant reviews and food pairing, as well as occasional insight into posh spirits (Armagnac, Calvados, marc...), craft beer and cider.

The extensive 'wine words' pages, blog archive and A to Z list of featured countries and themes are highlighted in this column below, revealing hundreds of posts and articles published on WineWriting or other magazines and websites. These include many organic, biodynamic and 'natural' wine producers, but certainly not exclusively.

'French Mediterranean Wine' is the mostly south of France part of the blog oozing with opinions, wines, winegrowers, places and vine-scapes across the Roussillon (delve deeper and buy my book!) and Languedoc, the southwest, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhône Valley, Provence, French Riviera, Corsica, Alsace, Loire Valley and Champagne.

Obviously, any reviews or images of alcoholic drinks on this site are destined for those of legal drinking age, whatever that is in your part of the world. RMJ fully endorses sensible consumption of alcohol, especially with good food and company. Lecture over.
