Der Zürcher Weinsommer ohne unsere Degustations-Party in der Frauenbadi auf der Limmat, das wäre beinahe wie ein Sechseläuten ohne Böögg. Zwar können wir Euch keinen Pulverdampf und Pistolenrauch bieten, dafür entkorken 11 Schweizer Winzer aus sieben Weinbaukantonen rund 60 Weine. Dazu gibt’s Latin Fever und Soul von der Zürcher Partyband «Just Jazz». Und «Maître Fromager» Rolf Beeler bringt eigens selektionierte Rohmilchkäse mit aufs Wasser. Der Anlass findet bei jeder Witterung statt. Flyer_2011

by Adam Lechmere - Gerard Basset, one of the world’s most accomplished sommeliers, has been awarded the OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list.
Basset joins Andre Simon, the late Harry Waugh, Jancis Robinson and other wine luminaries as a holder of the much-coveted civilian award.
The Order of the British Empire was established in 1917, and ranks second to the CBE, Commander of the British Empire, and above the MBE, Member of the British Empire.
Basset is considered to be at the height of his powers as a sommelier. Among numerous accolades he won the World’s Best Sommelier Competition in Santiago, Chile last year.

by Giles Fallowfield – August holidays have been cancelled in Champagne in anticipation of a very early harvest, possibly the earliest on record – especially if the warm weather of March to the end of May continues. Flowering was generally completed before the end of May and in some places the vines were in full flower by 21 May.
Adding 92 days – the average time over the past decade in Champagne between flowering and the start of the harvest—picking could start on 22 August. However because August is usually warmer and has more sun than September, it is possible the period between flowering may be even shorter, at just 80 days, which means the first grapes may be cut on August 16.
