Wine of the month

August 17th, 2011 by oscar

This month ( I realise we are starting mid month, but we just recieved this wine only yesterday)  we have decided to go with a white wine , why ? – well because its so different & refreshing & hopefully by going with a white wine of the month the weather will follow!!!

This wine is called TEMP DE FLORS & its Catalan , north of Barcelona , Spain.

Its called after the annual ‘Festival Of Flowers’ in Girona & you can see why the minute you taste this summery wine. Its a very ”Pretty” wine – if you can say that- & not in a condescending way . Its refreshing, crisp & light and I would say its to most peoples taste -It is  a blend of Muscat- Xarel.lo & Gewurtztraminer so it contains that correct amount of sweetness to allow you sip away without feeling someones added a spoon of honey too.

I hope you enjoy this wine sitting in our courtyard with the sun beaming as this is the image that came to mind when we tasted first… come on sunshine its time : )))

WINE of the MONTH – July

July 5th, 2011 by oscar

On a rare night off lately we decided to spend it in Galway & while we were strolling down Quay street looking at & for nothing in particular we came across a little Wine Shop which looked interesting, so we just had to have a quick look inside.

While we were browsing , we came across a few wines that we stock  at Mimosa so we got chatting to the Owner  & had a good discussion about the wines we both stock & the suppliers , he then started talking about this SALICE SALENTINO that is a gorgeous wine & is stocked by a supplier that we both use – well we just had to try it , for research purposes of course !!

Well -we both adored it , it’s such a surprising wine for me , full of great flavours but also with the slightest hint of spicy sweetness that is really pleasant, like one review said ‘ you’ll never get tired of this wine ‘ Its not too light or too heavy so its perfect with most meats .

From the heel of Italy -Salice Salentino is a juicy red produced by Masseria Pietrosa from the indigenous Italian variety of Negro amaro.  Largely overlooked, this is a real up-and-coming region to watch.

Thats what I love about this job ,we are learning more every day , and enjoying all the lessons along the way.

This is a wine not to be missed , it will be on our next wine list for sure but if you want a great wine now It will be available for the month of July at Mimosa

€ 24.00 per bottle       €6.00 per glass

Cin cin as they say in Italy
