EEN CHIQUE  STIJLVOLLE SELECTIE  ROOD UIT  ITALIA

Over de wijnen in de box :

1. VESTIGO MONTEPULCIANO D’ABRUZZO VENEA
TERRE DI CHIETI ABRUZZEN ITALIË 
De familie Paolucci verbouwt al generaties druiven
op heuvels in het zuiden van de Abruzzo, de Terre di Chieti. Bij Venea past men de speciale indroog techniek toe, bekend uit het Valpolicella - Veneto gebied, in speciale hygiënische droogkasten. Door het verwerken van de deels ingedroogde Montepulciano druiven ontstaat een zeer geconcentreerde wijn zonder stroeve tannines. Heeft wat weg van een Ripasso. Diepe kleur, veel geur en een intense smaakbeleving. Rijpe bramen, bessen, laurier, mediterrane kruiden. Ondanks kracht en diepgang zeer energiek, verfijnd en volop drinkplezier. Schenktemperatuur: 16-18 °C
Serveren bij: Heerlijk bij wild, gegrild rood vlees, zachte romige kaas, kruidige pastagerechten.

2. TORRAZZO, PRATELLO DOC VALTÈNESI, ITALIË 
Uit twee biologisch geteelde lokale druivenrassen (Groppello & Marzemino) componeert wijnmaker Vincenzo Bertola deze soepel smakende, intens fruitige vooral zachte rode wijn.

Pittig en complex maar daarnaast ook toegankelijk, licht en fris, sappig, fruitig en vrolijk met hint van rinse kersen, framboos, pruimen en kreupelhout. Serveer temperatuur 16-18 °C

Serveren bij: Fris en toegankelijk maar met voldoende ‘body’ om vlees, (veder) wild of zacht romige en rijpe kazen aan te kunnen. Licht gekoeld geserveerd de beste combinatie bij pasta met tomaten etc (zoet zuur frisse van tomaat). Maar ..redt het ook bij visgerechten.

 

3. CIRCUS, CANTINA LVNAE, LIGURIË 

De naam LVNAE komt van de plaats Luni, een oude Etruskisch/Griekse haven opgedragen aan de Griekse
god Selene. Het domein met steenachtige rijke bodem,
ligt op de heuvels van de Apennijnen, 11 km vanaf de Middellandse Zee, in Ligurië en staat bekend om het gebruik van lokale druivensoorten. Assemblage van ca
15 jaar oude Albarossa, Alicante Bouchet en Massereta. Een volle, krachtige wijn met een spannende, maar aanwezige tannine structuur. Alles op RVS. Intens robijnrode kleur, aroma met wilde bloemen en rijp rood fruit. Mondvullend elegant en harmonisch met lange finale en fluweelzachte tannines.
Schenktemperatuur: 18 °C
Serveren bij: Fijne vleeswaren, stevige voorgerechten, stoofpotje met aardappelen, pasta met vleessaus, veder- wild, bij konijn, spicy Oosterse gerechten, kip, rood of wit vlees, in ieder geval bij gerechten met een bite.

4. PRIMITIVO DI MANDURIA VILLA MOTTURA PUGLIA 

Familiebedrijf Mottura zetelt in de hak van de laars, in Zuid Italie rond ‘t prachtige stadje Lecce. Sinds 2015 heeft men als consulent oenoloog onze favoriete wijn- maker Emiliano Rossi (Ca dei Frati en Pratello) aan- getrokken. Het resultaat is nu al merkbaar: meer gul sap, meer spanning en grotere verteerbaarheid. Niet overrijp, zwaar en alcoholisch, maar juist heel prettig drinkbaar. Een fluweelzachte wijn Schenktemperatuur: 16-18 °C

Serveren bij: licht gerookte rode biet, paddenstoelen, gerechten met een klein zoetje denk aan wild, gebraden rood vlees als rund en wild, lamsschouder, stoofschotels en rijpe kazen.

smaak, lang aanhoudende aroma’s van rood fruit in combinatie met fluweelzachte, ronde tannines. Een feestje waard. Schenktemperatuur: 16-18 °C advies: drinken in zijn jeugd.

Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance “More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.” Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!! I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice! Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin. Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur. Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with. Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust. This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!! Read if you’re into- Dark Fantasy/Romance Slow–Burn Question Everything Magic and Action Fae Arthurian Legend Stabby/Broken FFC Morally Gray MMC Forced Proximity Queen of Roses is perfect for Holly Black, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Sarah J. Maas fans. Please check the trigger warnings page in the table of contents before reading this book.

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum! Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle. One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed. However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience. Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
