A personal favourite...
2005 Syrah, Chocolan, Chile: On the whole, Chile has always made solid, well-made wines that are flawless but very often unremarkable.However, in recent years, an appreciation for matching grapes to particular sites, altitudes and soils has been on the increase and the resulting wines are getting interesting. This is a great example of what we can expect out of Chile in the coming years - fantastic new world Syrah with a masterful use of oak giving the rich clean Syrah fruit a spicy and smoky edge. Forward-thinking wine making at its best - 9.95
This is my site The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately '04. I had been a frequent visitor for a while before that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar + voting for favourite places + things, and I know it was a useful resource for others who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was about to become. I am not Gerald BTW, this comes from the name of a pretend paper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, + how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
