I’ll get to the wines after a little introduction!
You can skip the first 3 aligns after this one if you only want to hear about the bottles. 🙂

So I’m 22 and work in a restaurant that serves some amazing wines (and we have stuff like spare-ribs on the menu lmao it doesn’t make any sense) and I’m the only one in staff who has an intrest in wine so I’m kind of the somm there, we have like 200 wines and I learned most of em.

The wine world is still pretty new for me, I’ve been interested in it for like 4 years now but I tend to study everyday and go for my wset!

There really is nothing that I can keep my focus learning wise except for wine, I hope that when I get my car I can find a place with better food and good wines so I can grow and keep working with them.

So the owner of the company we buy wines from came to have dinner and ordered these 4 bottles, I opened the champagne at the table and he noticed my enthousiasm so he let me taste everything! And loyal tasting glasses I must say :)))

The bienveneus was my favorite, the vega sicilia is incredible ofcourse but the nose and roundness of the bienveneus was just insane.
There is so much going on in that wine it amazed me, first whiff i took it smelled like pastry, peach even a hint of white flowers and 2min later the second whiff was totally different.
I let it warm up a bit bc all the whites our restaurant are cooled at 4C (stupid right lol)
I took a sip and it was like chewing on a block of butter, but in a good way!
Just incredible.

Thanks for reading and I’m gonna keep grinding to make a living of this!

    Hardly anyone in the industry can afford these bottles in terms of purchasing that sort of luxury from income coming from the industry. Mostly, exposure comes from the largess of others. When it is camaraderie, fantastic. When it comes with strings attached, not so much. That sandbox is owned by the .01%.
