I’d a very good reason, but : i’ve a brand new work

Yay! That has kept me pretty busy recently, and that’s why the 2nd leg of my Warsaw tales took some time. But we insist upon sharing my knowledge about Kieliszki na PrГіЕјnej with you, not just because we tasted a couple of great wines here, but additionally as this is a superb little tale about passion for wine.

Kieliszki may be the word that is polish cups and PrГіЕјna may be the name for the road in Warsaw where this wine bar/restaurant is found. This place does not look extraordinary but on the inside the interior is a nicely done renovation of an old house in an industrial style from the outside. My family and I discovered this spot a years that are few whenever we went here for diner. I recall being really impressed as that has been the very first (and just) time that I happened to be in a restaurant where all of the containers regarding the list had been that can be had because of the cup, compliment of Coravin. Wine drinkers heaven that is.

Once I had been here in August, we went for a few kieliszki, or cups, in the terrace, along with the pleasure of conversing with Sommelier Patryk Nowak. He explained that the COVID-19 pandemic obliged them to avoid providing every thing by the cup. The varying quantity of consumers plus the possibility of a lockdown that is potential it tough to carry on their by-the-glass policy. Maybe perhaps maybe Not so it stopped them of experiencing an incredible range of wines by the cup, for instance. With 22 whites, 11 orange wines, and 26 reds because of the cup, you’re spoiled for option. The wines being offered are an eclectic mix between worldwide recommendations and avant-garde wines. Between the Champagnes we saw Krug, Philipponnat, Dom Pérignon, but also Selosse for instance.

Whenever I told Patryk that I became within the mood for the refreshing red, he replied : “Sure, however if that’s alright with you, I’d first prefer to share a white we discovered recently and therefore blew us away.” It is loved by me whenever that takes place. It with another wine geek when you feel someone’s passion for wine and the willingness to share. The wine Patryk i’d like to try had been The Hermit Ram, a skin-fermented Sauvignon Blanc from New-Zealand, a wine by having a interesting nose of tropical fresh fresh fruit and flowery aromas, but that lacked a small bit too much acidity for my palate.

In place of permitting me personally choose one red from the list, Patryk arrived on the scene without any significantly less than four various containers I could decide to try before We decided to go with. We first went for the 7 Fuentes, a dark wine of Suertes del Marqués, an amazing winery into the Spanish volcanic island Tenerife. This blend of Listán Negro and Tintilla is component associated with winery’s “Village wine” range. Really fragrant, with lots of strawberries and a hint of minerality. The freshness of the wine ended up being simply ideal for the hot weather. Great stability additionally, and tannins that are perfectly ripe. Right up my street!

The second red we had was a step-up or two in terms of framework

No surprise great deal of thought had been a Priorat although not simply any Priorat. The Planetes de Nin of Nin-Ortiz is just a Garnacha aged in amphorae in accordance with really low amounts of sulphite. There clearly was a little bit of barnyard into the nose, but also graphite and pure red fresh kenyancupid fruit. Your wine had volume that is great with tannins that have been plainly here but ripe. A luscious red, almost baroque for my criteria, and yet elegant during the time that is same! I would personally like to re-try this in the home, since there was a great deal to be located in right here.

Just one single more thing i must say i liked about my check out : when Patryk arrived using the 7 Fuentes, he noticed your wine had been too hot. Therefore he poured a little in a carafe and place in on ice to chill it before he served it, additionally permitting me personally decide to try at several moments to see just what ended up being my favored heat. Bravo! Serving a wine too hot, specially one such as the 7 Fuentes, can ruin the experience simply, regardless of how good your wine. Therefore it ended up being great to see therefore attention that is much allocated to the portion temperature.

Too see therefore passion that is much wine had been invigorating making me determine we certainly desire to return here, corona permitting, for meal or diner. And several kieliszki of course.
