short notes from the Winehog …
Thanks for many good and great moments with wine, food and royal service at Søllerød Kro.
Jan Restorff made Søllerød what it is, Jan is still Søllerød Kro.
To Jan it was pure passion …
Just two weeks ago Jan helped me with invaluable restaurant advice in Italy ... Little did I know it would be the last service.
You will be missed

Bourgogne Blanc 2022/2023 … blended vintages … works very well

Tasting of the delicious and refined 2024s from Comte Liger-Belair. Elegant and vivid wines - a positive surprise. Will be very rare birds … only 20% of a normal harvest.
Jul 25
The battle of Aloxe … a surprising tasting of two very interesting wines … different but they do have a strong terroir bond
Jul 24
Haut Les Mains 2025 was as usual well organised … yet it seemed that the producer lineup was smaller this year.
Quality better I think with many fine wines. Some are very organic … others even worse … but most offer good drinking.
2023 is a lovely year … but there are quite some diluted wines due to the high yields.

Quite persistent rain in Burgundy today … so far no hail and the intensity of the showers is moderate. All good it seems

High markups are making the Burgundies very expensive in the shops and in the restaurants … this is often the sad truth …

Hot day in NSG … visit from Canada and enjoying another Lamy treat … empty the winelists before the new vintages take over … presumably to higher prices … the 2019s are delightful
