How I uncovered a potential ancient Rome wine scam

Cretian raisin wine was incredibly popular with Romans but the real deal takes a long time to make.

@amnis There is a lot of Amphora winemaking these days....it seems to be a trend. Some are more successful than others! I find some that are shockingly good; others seem flawed. So it goes. I have never seen one in Piemonte!

This is a picture I took of the Amphora Museum in Alentejo, a region where it is particularly popular in Portugal. #wine #amphora #portugal #alentejo

Part 5 (the last part!)
There was also the 2022 "fresh from Amphora" Nat'Cool Branco offering with Niepoort too, with Perrum, Rabo de Ovelha and Manteúdo. This was straightforward, but bright, clean and lively. For $20 for one liter, it a best buy. Amphora wines can be a little pricier at times, although Rocim's own Branco Vinho de Talha was just $20 (750ml). Not the best, but good QPR.

Lots of good things to explore. Nice job from Rocim and partners.

Final stop this trip: Rocim's Amphora Day. It is pretty crowded, they've got a lot of wineries, a lot of consumers, and a very good vibe. I had a lot of good tastings here, more to come.
