Amusing Storytelling and Anecdotes around the magical world of the natural Sweet Cyprus Wine.
This is a Bring Your Own Wine (BYOW) Online Tasting which means you can bring along any wine you want. In short I recommend wines that trigger your curiosity. I will take you through the method I use to taste a new wine, using a simple Sensory Analysis Procedure.
There is no right or wrong and tasting is not a competition of any sort. It’s all about understanding the fermented beverage in your glass.
Check out the Q & A tab to find answers to questions discussed during the sessions.
First of all I’d love to see you using the Comment Box bellow to leave your thoughts and questions. That would give our experience a great kickstart.
Choose your wines and if you have a moment to spare, send me the name so I can add them to the wine list.
• Please prepare to serve white wines at fridge temperature and red at 60 f/15 c. –Starting at low temperatures allows the wine to gradually release the aromatic reactions as temperature naturally alters.
• Optionally and if you are a wine geek you may want to use the Tasting Sheet to mark down your notes. Please have it ready on a separate device for in-depth tasting experience:

There is a sequence of steps used to evaluate a wine, and they are done in a specific order. However tasting a wine is not a once-off event but a repeating series of the procedure going back and forth.
Please have the wine served when we start and feel free to refill as to your liking.
Glassware: use your preferred glass, the ones that you feel comfortable drinking wine in. Ideally I‘d like you to have a different glass for each wine or at least two glasses. So you can perform a comparative tasting.
Have some water and dry bread to rinse your palate if necessary.
Interaction on this experience is vital… so do ask whatever comes to your mind, even if you think it might sound silly, go for it, the Wonderful World of Wine is full of surprises.

Our free-flowing discussion is designed to equip you with the basic knowledge to be a smart wine buyer and a Commandaria wine aficionado.
** In the 11th Century, King Richard the Lionheart called the sweet wine of Cyprus “the Wine of Kings and the King of Wines”. The Knights of the st John Order created the Grand Commandarie de Chypre to command their order and manage their activities around Europe and the rest of the world, when they transferred here from Jerusalem in 1192 and formed the kingdom of Cyprus.
Invasion followed invasion. Lusignan rule was followed by the Venetians and then the Ottomans. In 1878 the island was ceded to Britain and in 1960 Cyprus became an independent republic. In 2004 Cyprus joined the European Union. Yet one thing still remains the same….
