“Urknall,” Alfred says. “You know, the start of universe, the big bang theory.”
“This is the German word for it, Urknall.”
The surroundings are just dreamlike. We’re sitting in a saint-like memorial place just outside Horitschon, an oasis in the middle of a vineyard. In one corner there’s a statue. Maybe the [...]
-Vintage?
My generous friend stands there with a smile, knowing I’m confused. We’ve done this before at countless occasions; exposed each other for blind-bottles.
-I’m thinking 1995 or 1998. It’s maturing but has that gorgeous sweet fruit scent you find in great years.

First of all; would you consider spending 50 Euro’s on a Blaufränkisch? I know, blau what you think. Secondly; are you prepared to give it perhaps up to a decade in the cellar before starting to pop?
Blaufränkisch has all the potential to become a favorite amongst wine consumers. It has a racy structure with [...]
Food, beautiful women, and wine. Not necessarily in that order though. What more can one ask for at a wine tasting?
A month ago I realized, while having the trilogy of Catena’s Adrianna, Argentino and Nicasia in front of me, that whenever the desire for a great Malbec emerged, I should [...]
Basic stuff really. If you want to be thought of as professional facts must be checked, text proof-read and make sure the sales talk is coherent and don’t signal any loose ends. Naturally the clientele plays an important role; if you don’t have the range of customers that seeks information and are truly passionate [...]
My guest blogger Markus Stolz yesterday presented Christos Kokkalis and his winery in the western Peloponnesos. Today it’s my turn to present one of my coolest finds this year – the 2008 Trilogia from Christos!
Writing about a wine that many never will get the chance to taste – not because it’s hysterically [...]
Imagine the following. You’re standing there in the wineshop. The shelves are filled with French, German, Italian and Spanish wines. American wines, Aussie’s, Kiwi’s and South African’s. You name it. But Greek wines? Probably none. If there were any, how many of you would pick up an Agiorgitiko or a Xinomavro prior to the [...]
Wines from the old world and wines from the new world.
Isn’t it time to get rid of these obsolete categorizations? Besides only strengthening prejudices, what good does the terms do today? Is Europe really all about food friendly wines, a respect for the wines place of origin and adaptation to climate and [...]
Have a look around your circle of friends. I suppose all of them aren’t as you – into wine? Some will do an extra effort when inviting you over for dinner and find that specific wine they believe will please you, others will not. I respect both camps – it’s awesome someone likes me [...]
Hardly my average Wednesday sip and frankly, it shouldn’t be either. The 2006 The Armagh from Jim Barry is one of those wines which you should forget about for at least a decade – to give it the justice it deserves. Today it’s a bombardment of aromas and on the [...]
Deep inside my heart I know, but at the very same time I have my prejudices. Argentinian, Australian or Chilean winemakers, to mention a few, do produce great wines, but for a Gallophile – or maybe more an Europhile which hardly can keep up with what’s happening in France, Germany or Italy, it’s easy [...]
Anyone working in the construction or building material industry probably recognizes the name of Knauf. Gypsum is not my living but I knew I’d seen the name before, in another wine related context. But where? Knauf is the owners of the quite recently (1998) created Campo alla Sughera in Bolgheri, a wine estate build [...]
Portuguese lagares style meets barnyardy Chateauneuf-du-Pape meets Barolo tannins! How does that sound?
No question about it; the 2005 Silicata from Selvanova is no crowd pleaser, but when drinking the wine I am thrown 15 years back in time, landing at my very first date with an Aglianico. It was the [...]

En blogg helt tillägnad portugisiska viner. Ändå är det de norra delarna av fastlandet som är överrepresenterade och då företrädesvis Douro och Vinho Verde. Naturligtvis är det ett tecken på mina preferenser men en bättring är ändå på sin plats. Förlåt Ribatejo, Alentejo, Terras do Sado…
Jag går inte igång på varma områden [...]

Fredag kväll och något ovanligt inträffade i det Mise en bouteille:ska hemmet. En flaska italienskt korkades upp! Inget ont om Italien; det var ju landet som fick igång mitt vinintresse för 15 år sedan men tyvärr går jag numer inte igång på vinerna i samma grad som förr. Men inför en stundande resa till [...]

WELCOME
Me? A wine virtuoso? Don't think so. I'm rather an apprentice despite my 18 years of intense wine passion. But I kinda like the name - Wine Virtuosity. I'm glad you found my site, a merge of my two previous blogs. My name is Niklas Jorgensen. Here you will find it all; classic wine regions, new discoveries and some wine mumbo jumbo in general. I don't care about a wine's origin; as long as it captures my attention no more is needed. Trying to act as unprejudiced as possible, I still am aware of which are my weak spots. At least at the moment because who knows what awaits around the corner? By the way; don't forget to check out my Madeira wine site as well!TWIT, TWIT, TWEET!
