Welcome to AlexRedfern.com, here you can find a mix of tasting notes, and information on wines, spirits, and cocktails. Almost every week there will be an update to the site alternating between: the Wine of the Month; Ollie’s Cocktail of the Month; or the Spirit of the Month. There will also be occasional updates of the tips section. Recent Updates Amaro Nonino Quintessentia – Wed 16th May 2012 Figeac 1980 – Mon 2nd April 2012 El Dorado 15 Year Old – Mon 27th February 2012 Roger Sabon Lirac 2009 – Mon 20th February 2012 Bloody Mary – Mon 6th February 2012  Medici Ermete Concerto 2010 – Mon 30th January 2012   Savoie and its Wines – Mon 23rd January 2012 The wines and spirits that are written up here have all been either tasted at a trade tasting, at my day job, or have been purchased by me. Being based in London I only provide a list of UK shops, however the link to Wine-Searcher should help you to locate a particular wine should you live outside of the UK. Next to each of the wine notes, the more observant may notice a little symbol. This relates to Biodynamic theories – more details here – and how the moon and constellations affect wines. The best days to taste wines are fruit and flower. Root and leaf days are bad days to taste wine. The symbol shows what type of day it was when I tasted the wine. This is purely given as additional information, and a bit of fun! Root Day – Very Bad Leaf Day – Bad Flower Day – Good Fruit Day – Very Good
