Latest Herald Update



So the latest Herald article is out and I am behind the times already. On Tuesday I state that there are no new world Gewurztraminer to be found in Korea, on Wednesday I find Cassilero del Diablo Gewurz for 20,000 won. I haven't tried it yet and although Cassilero aren't the worlds greatest wine maker they do make some pretty solid wines. So heres hoping. We do get Cono Sur wines here and they make a brilliant Gewurz so here is hoping some more.......

Also, my Google Alerts failed to notify of this gem.....

Cheaper wine. There is little better news one can hope for. If the big players here, Tesco and Emart can start cutting out the middle man it can only be good news for the consumer with regards to price. A certain homogeneity of wines might well also come but we hardly have a cornucopia of choice here right now anyway. If we could now get a large independent retailer with a real passion for diversity and value it could be a bright new future for Korean wine drinkers....
