Wine in Abu Dhabi and a job vacancy!

16-02-2010 | By: Christine Parkinson | Category: Matching Opinions People Wines Business Asia England News

Progress! Most of the wines for the Hakkasan Emirates Palace opening list are chosen, and I’m just waiting for prices from the importers. Abu Dhabi has a 50% import tax on alcohol, so the prices will probably come as a shock. » More

Versatile Chileans

04-02-2010 | By: Mark Deamer | Category: Argentina Chile Cabernet Sauvignon Chardonnay Malbec

I feel I am never going to understand Argentina's approach to making wine. White wines consistently romp in at 14% abv plus, and red wines have such massive extraction and hideous use of oak that you can stand a spoon up in them » More

Mexican beginnings

29-01-2010 | By: Peter McCombie | Category: Tastings South America Wines

My first proper tasting of the year was – believe it or not – of Mexican wines. Held at Mexican street food joint Wahaca’s Westfield site, we tasted a selection of wines that Hugo d’Acosta – who might be called Mexico’s answer to Michel Rolland – has a hand in making. » More

Managing the post-recession cellar

27-01-2010 | By: Ronan Sayburn | Category: Opinions Wines

Now that we’re nearing the end of January we can be reflective on 2009. It’s been a tough year for the restaurant business. In a recession, luxury items are always affected first and this would certainly include wine bought in restaurants. » More
