Nectar from the gods

John Borrell — Sun, 17 Nov 2013 19:24:10 +0000

I don’t have a single all-time favourite wine. It depends on the season, with whom I’m sharing it and what’s on the plate in front of me. Normally at this time of the year it would be a Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay or Riesling. But right now it’s a Cabernet Franc from New Zealand, an extraordinary […]

Raise your glass

John Borrell — Thu, 07 Nov 2013 19:19:18 +0000

Normally I get to drink Champagne two or three times a year, raising a glass at someone’s birthday or as the fireworks herald the start of a New Year. But on a trip to Champagne with friends this autumn, I drank almost nothing else but Champagne. And quite a lot of it too. At one […]

Pinot Noir – finesse in a bottle

John Borrell — Mon, 04 Nov 2013 19:22:19 +0000

Pinot Noir is not a grape that Poles fall in love with immediately. In fact many people’s first impressions are that it is too light, insipid even. Bigger, fruitier wines are preferred, whether they are from the New World or from southern Europe where hot summers enable grapes like Primitivo and Monastrell to ripen fully […]

If you like rosé wine there’s no better place to be than in Provence which produces more than 100-million bottles of it a year – well over half France’s total production of rosé . That’s where I am now, sitting beneath a plane tree that shades the terrace of a restaurant in Aix-en-Provence. Rosé is […]

There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch

John Borrell — Tue, 07 May 2013 18:28:00 +0000

This is one of the best-known adages in the English language. Its origins date back to the 19th century when bar owners in the United States offered “free” lunches to patrons. Of course the cost of the lunch was calculated into the elevated price of drinks. And innkeepers made sure it always a fatty, salty […]

The White Lake

John Borrell — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:13:33 +0000

On an autumn day more than two decades ago I sat on a grassy bank overlooking deep, mysterious Jezioro Biale (White Lake) in Kaszubia. A forest splashed with colour retreated from the far shore, overhead a skein of geese honked their way south. It was especially bucolic for someone like me, a war correspondent who […]
