RKS 2023 Wine: All That Glitters is Not Gold: Mt. Monster 2019 Limestone Coast Shiraz
Australian wine bottles are often plastered with medal stickers. This Mt. Monster 2019 Shiraz from the Limestone Coast has three gold medal stickers. Irrelevant I say as pay your entry fee and walk away with some sort of medal. And often you must pay the wine competition organizer to affix/buy the stickers. A similar analogyContinue reading “RKS 2023 Wine: All That Glitters is Not Gold: Mt. Monster 2019 Limestone Coast Shiraz”

RKS Literature: Mrs. Dombey’s Mourning Period (Charles Dickens)
“That small world, like the great one out of doors, had the capacity of easily forgetting its dead; and when the cook had said it was the common lot, and the butler had said who’d have thought it, and the housemaid had said she couldn’t hardly believe it, and the footman had said it seemedContinue reading “RKS Literature: Mrs. Dombey’s Mourning Period (Charles Dickens)”

RKS Literature: Mr. Dombey’s Wife as a Chattel (Charles Dickens)
“He was not a man of whom it could properly be said that he was ever startled or shocked; but he certainly had a sense within him, that if his wife should sicken and decay, he would be very sorry and that he would find something gone from among his plate and furniture, and otherContinue reading “RKS Literature: Mr. Dombey’s Wife as a Chattel (Charles Dickens)”

Yes from a Portuguese tourism perspective there is more than Porto, Lisbon and the Algarve.

RKS Literature: The Raunchy Prince Valkovsky (Dostoevsky)
“I love influence, honours, good hotels, a huge stake at cards (I adore cards). But the main, most important thing is women….women in all theirs shapes and forms.

You shouldContinue reading “RKS Literature: The Raunchy Prince Valkovsky (Dostoevsky)”
RKS 2023 Wine: Getting Cozy with Côtes du Roussillon; Bastide Miraflors
Côtes du Roussillon is a go to appellation for (mostly) quality wine at an affordable price. The Bastide Miraflors is a blend of Syrah (70%) and Grenache (30%) so I am not expecting daintiness! Aroma: Grenache often has aromas of very ripe big fat strawberries not those little sweetie red berries you are more likelyContinue reading “RKS 2023 Wine: Getting Cozy with Côtes du Roussillon; Bastide Miraflors”
