Etang des Colombes, Grenache 2007

Etang des Colombes Grenache 2007

although this is not a "classic" national wine, I must say that it is interesting. it reminded me the violete taste ("flowers" however the label explains about "red fruits"). Quite delicate, although it does not have any body. Worth to taste it. I was satisfied with this wine.

This is a very comfortable restaurant that offers high quality meals. Worth to mention the tunna fish, as well as the terrace inside the restaurant. Prices are reasonable.

This is a nice spirit distillate from grape marcs produced in Cyprus. It is usually drank before lunch although its alcoholid degree is 45º. If you put it into the fridge you will realize that the density gets stronger. Its pleasant to drink and healthy. Don't confuse it with the greek ouzo. This is not an anisette. It is like an orujo, but this one has better taste than orujo.
I have been able to taste it thanks to my good friend M.

This is an Outstanding brandy from Cyprus. Really smooth, probably due to the double distillation process. Worth to taste. In addition the package is also great. I have been able to taste it thanks to my good friend M.

Gerbeaud (2/2)

Gerbeaud

Sacher pie is outstanding and cheaper than in Vienna. Almond pie was also great, although I prefer the Sacher. the price is reasonable for the pies, but the capucino is quite expensive. (1 eur=260 fiorints)
