Third segment of this weeks Show: I Promise… Vinous Vows for 2009 - Per Karlsson

His wife founded BKWine Brief newsletter and BKWine Tours. Per Karlsson, a Swedish-born financial expert based out of Paris has since joined his wife with his photography, technology expertise, and passion for wine. Their combined expertise is a glorious read. This most recently caught my attention on how to improve one’s wine year 2009: 1. Buy six different bottle in stead of six of the same; 2. Spend a couple of extra euros/dollars on the bottle, at least for the ones for the weekend dinners; 3. Don’t choose the house wine in a restaurant; 4. At least once (or twice) a month choose a wine that comes from a district that you’re not very familiar with; 5. Choose a wine that is not on recommendation from an ”expert”; 6. Discover a new wine region in situ.
