Yes, this evening I will be winging my way back home to Blighty, hopefully with a glass of Swiss Air white wine in my hand. Chasselas to be exact.
In preparation for my journey, I did a bit of research (wine research, my favourite) and drank a bottle of Swiss wine. I even let Vinomaker have a little. The 2017 Cave de La Côte, Chasselas Romand was an extremely quaffable, light wine. Fresh and airy, with an aroma of lime and flowers, followed by lemon and melon on the palate this was a very nice Chasselas. Besides, what's there not to like about a bottle of wine with the Matterhorn on the label?
I remember years ago driving past the vineyards in the canton of Valais (around Sion). Little did I imagine that years later I would be sitting in the Napa Valley drinking a bottle of Swiss wine from the Upper Rhône Valley. Life is funny.
Get back JoJo!
