Your Preferences

The fastest way for us to help you find the wines you'll love (and avoid the wines you won't ) is for you to spend 30 seconds to tell us about your wine tastes. We use these answers, together with your wine ratings to build a detailed profile of your personal tastes. We match your taste profile to our wines taste profile to find the wines that match. Even if it's a grape you don't know, from a place you don't know, made by a person you have never heard of. For example, if you tell us that you like Rioja, we have an Argentinean Malbec that you will adore. And a Spanish Grenache that will blow your socks off.

I prefer

red and whites

reds only

whites only

I usually spend about:

£ on a bottle of every day wine

£ on a bottle for special occasions

I buy about bottles a week

Red wine preferences

Do you like?	Rating (rollover the stars to rate)
Big, full bodied red wines? The kind of wine that goes with a rich meaty stew? E.g. Aussie Shiraz.
Elegant restrained reds...e.g. Bordeaux and Burgundy.
Rioja? Warm, oaky mellow wines, great for sharing around a roaring fire?
Soft, fruity, juicy easy drinking reds. e.g. Chilean Merlot, or a Cote du Rhone?

White wine preferences

Do you like?	Rating (rollover the stars to rate)
New Zealand Sauvignons and other fruity, refreshingly zingy whites?
Oaky, mellow fruity wines? Australian Chardonnay for example?
Fruity but DRY whites, perfect for an aperitif
Bone dry classics like Chablis?

Just won a Luxury Mystery Mixed case in the auction - I think I'm going to put a big ribbon round the box and save the fun of finding out what is inside for xmas morning! :-)

Comment on: Mistral Syrah Reserva 2008

A very nice wine, very drinkable and a little better than the ordinary Mistral wines, but the price is creeping up. Definitely worth have a few bottles in the cellar.

Plunkett Fowles tasting a week today, can't wait it should be a great afternoon / evening as we've got a good crowd coming but still have space if anyone else is interested.

Comment on: Mistral Merlot 2008

Not a bad quaffable red. Young, light, and easy drinking.

Tasting Tips for Hosts

Created: on 14/06/2009 by Neil Perry (35 Members)

For Archangel tasting hosts to share hints, tips and experiences. If we could build up a comprehensive 'body of knowledge' perhaps Naked could collate it and publish it as a kit just like Decanter does.

Archangels R Us

Well there is a novices group, so why not one for us Archangels! <BR>Post anything you like with the smallest link to wine. Tastings, meetings, perhaps even a Christmast Ball. <BR>Andy

London International Wine Fair

Your chance to write and read reviews of the 2009 LIWF.
A big thanks to NWs for asking numerous Archangels to attend the Fair and to sample the wines with the intention of identifying future wines for the NW's cellars.
It is highly likely that some of the wines that may be mentioned in this group, will not feature on NWs wine list, especially with my dodgy palate, but then again.........please feel free to add your reviews.

Constantia (SA wines)

Created: on 22/04/2009 by David Derbyshire (27 Members)

I figured there should also be a group for lovers of South African wines. The name Constantia is in honour of SA's first vineyard, founded in 1685.

NW already works with several great and talented winemakers (Bruwer and Jasper Raats, Hugo Truter, John Kruger, Riaan Oosthuizen, and Stephen de Wet) from South Africa. Show your support by joining this group!

Loire Lovers

Created: on 22/04/2009 by David Lindsay (21 Members)

Did you know that the Loire valley is France's third largest wine region? That it is the second largest producers of 'sparkling wines'?That it's the number one region for wines ordered in restaurants in France? Or maybe (like me) you don't care that much, and just love their wine and want to talk about it with other Loire lovers! If so you are in the right place...
