The longer I've been involved in wine, the more interesting it becomes to dispel all sorts of wine stereotypes: red to meat, sparkling wine to oysters and other wine prejudices. They often narrow our horizons and limit our choices so much that one can go through life without tasting a sweet ice-cold Asti with truffle chips. But trends are changing.

The sweet truth about sparkling wine: why there's no need to be ashamed of your love of Moscato and Demi-Sec

I met Eva Mosbrugger by chance at a wine salon. My eye fell on a booklet lying on a table a couple of steps away from me. It had a picture of a beautiful historical castle with the inscription "Schloss Gobelsburg" on it, and a laconic wine label and many awards shouted: "Taste me!"

I recently had dinner with a friend at our favorite steakhouse, where not only is the meat great, but also the wine selection. I sometimes amuse myself by asking the sommelier to bring me a wine or two to taste and try to guess them blind. That's what happened this time. The owner of the restaurant emphasizes on small producers, mostly from Europe, and the chances of meeting something familiar there are small.
