The air is crisp, candles are glowing, and a bottle of your favourite red is breathing on the counter. Autumn evenings call for slowing down. And there is no better way to do it than with a beautiful glass of wine in hand. Choosing the right glass for your red wine isn’t just about looks. The shape of the glass actually affects the aroma, flavour and overall experience. Here are the main styles to know, and when to reach for each: Why: Bordeaux glasses have a tall bowl with a slightly narrower rim, which helps direct the wine to the […]

Grüner Veltliner & Soccer Evening
After a relaxing day between sauna, pool, and mountains, we wanted to wind down the evening in a cozy way. At the hotel bar, a soccer match was on – the perfect backdrop to wind down for the evening. We sat down at the bar, watched the game, and enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere. I ordered a glass of Grüner Veltliner Löss – fresh, lively, with a hint of fine spices. This wine instantly lifted the mood. It was easy to drink, yet interesting enough that you’d happily keep coming back for another sip. Wine Notes: Wine: Grüner Veltliner Löss – […]

Pizza & White Wine
A Chardonnay-Fiano Evening Sometimes you don’t need a big menu. Today it was simply pizza and a glass of Chardonnay-Fiano from Apulia. The wine is soft, fruity, and uncomplicated – exactly the kind of bottle you can open without to much thought. It paired best with the simple things: Margherita – fresh and classic, it really lets the fruitiness of the wine shine. White Pizza ( Bianca) – no tomato sauce, just cheese; works beautifully with the wine’s light acidity. Vegetable Pizza – zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms; brings out the wine’s fruitniness even more. Seafood-Pizza – shrimp or tuna; perfect […]

A Glass of Sunshine
Some days simply call for a little brightness. When the sun is out and the light fills the room, there’s no better match than a chilled glass of rosé. It’s the kind of moment that doesn’t need any big occasion – just a quiet pause, a warm breeze, and a sip that feels like summer. This Calvet La Dune Bordeaux Rosé brought exactly that feeling. With its soft pink hue catching the sunlight, it instantly set the mood for a slow afternoon. I love how a simple glass of wine can shift the energy of a day – making it […]

Family Moments & Sparkling Rosé
There’s something special about having family visit from overseas. The house fills with laughter, different accents, familiar stories, and new memories. We opened a bottle of Freixenet Rosé Prosecco to celebrate the moment – nothing fancy, just a toast to being together. The bubbles set the tone: light, joyful, and a little festive. Almost like Christmas. It’s amazing how a simple glass can bring people closer, turning an ordinary afternoon into something memorable. Wine Notes: Wine: Freixenet Rosé Prosecco – Veneto, Italy Color: Pale pink with fine lively bubbles Aroma: Fresh red berries, a hint of citrus, delicate flower notes […]

Cozy Evening with a Glass of Silvaner
Some evenings don’t need much to feel special. The rain hits the window softly, everything slows down, and the world outside fades a little. It’s not about doing anything planned – just letting the moment be what it is. I opened a bottle of Silvaner and poured myself a glass. Light, fresh, with just the right amount of crispness. No big dinner, no occasion – just a simple glass that matched the mood. Some wines demand attention. Others blend into atmosphere like a background song you love. This was one of those. Wine Notes: Wine: Silvaner – Germany Color: Pale […]

Grauburgunder at Lake Walchsee
We treated ourselves to a relaxing weekend at Lake Walchsee. A resort with heated pool, sauna, and massages – it’s just the right thing to unwind. Surrounded by mountains, and fresh air, and pure nature. The sunset over the mountains was especially beautiful – that warm light makes everything feel calmer. And in the morning, the sunrise was equally stunning; it felt as if nature was slowly waking up the day. I’m one of those people who likes to get up early and go for a walk – it’s especially peaceful in the mountains. It’s not everyone’s thing, but for […]

Sip n’Paint
After a rather stressful week and a few birthday parties, I just needed a quiet evening. So: out came the canvas, I grabbed some brushes, poured myself a glass of wine – and that was the start of my first Sip n’Paint night. I’m not exactly artistically gifted (I knew that already), but still had a lot of fun. I was inspired by some Bob Ross videos, and they made the evening so easy and relaxed – no pressure, just trying things out. Wine Notes: Wine: Stemmari Pinot Grigio 2024 – Sicily, Italy Color: Pale yellow, clear Aroma: Light fruit, […]
