We attended the "Wine and Friends -The Show" wine fair yesterday. Arranged at cosy Hotel at Six, one of Stockholms recent design hotels, in the city center of Stockholm. Producers and winemakers from all over the world were represented. There were a fair amount of small producers but with both affordable and available wines. All wines we tasted had good quality, even if they not always suit our taste.
We took the chance to learn more about Slovenian and Austrian wines but also had a great talk to South African producer Steenberg. Constantia valley in South Africa is an area we still have to visit in our quest for all the great South African wines.
There were of course also representatives from the old world of wine (France, Italy etc). We took the chance to learn more about Piccini our house wine producer's more premium range.
As the name indicates it is not only wine but also great deli. We got the chance to compare different olive oils, cheeses and order organic meat.
It was a great venue, not too crowded. Exhibitors had good knowledge and also time to talk. We tasted many great wines. There were a good amount of organic wines. All in all a great Saturday afternoon. Looking forward to next year's fair.
