New article series for Cork Rules
I’ve recently started a new educational article serie in English for Cork Rules, where I could previously be heard through the podcast. The concept will help readers understanding the wine label and the, sometimes tricky, words written upon it. It will tackle terms like millésime (like in the first article) but also grape varieties and regions. Enjoy!
Could snus be gastronomic?
My most recent article is out in Wine Table, one where I discuss the part the Swedish tobacco “snus” could play in high end restaurants and how it, like cigars, could have a gastronomic future. Read it in Swedish here.
Chile articles
The latest theme for Wine Table was Chile and I contributed with one about local grape varities with a focus on País, as well as one with my favourite bottles from Chile you can buy in Systembolaget at the moment. Both in Swedish.
Article about Swedish ice cider
My latest article for Wine Table us up (in Swedish) about the Swedish ice cider and its development in Umeå and the northern part of Sweden. Catch it here.
Latest article about Swedens wine harvest 2023
My latest article for Wine Table is out. It’s in Swedish, and all about how the 2023 vintage has been, and how the current harvest is moving forward. Interesting read about our emerging wine growing culture. Winemakers from Särtshöga, Arilds, Thora and Skepparps all whey in to give their opinion on this challenging, but ultimately good, vintage. Read it here!
My latest podcasts
Lately I’ve been producing podcast episodes for Cork Rules, talking about wine lists in different restaurants around the world. A few of them are out already. Don’t miss! Great episodes by me, and other talented sommeliers, talking about how to read a wine list and what bottles not to miss out on. My latests episodes can be found here, or at Spotify.
