Top notch Spanish wines to Sweden!
Having your own business can be very hard. There are some ups and downs. But today we are very happy and proud.
Today two of our wines have been launched at the Swedish monopoly!
The process started ages ago…can’t even remember when but probably about a year ago. Many samples and emails later these great Spanish wines are finally available to all Swedes.
The process to sell wines in Sweden is highly regulated and quite complicated. It starts off with offers that… Continue

Bag in box wine - is it really drinkable?
I have just moved back to my home country Sweden after 13 years abroad, the last five of them in Spain. While doing my wine shopping here (of course only at the state monopoly stores – “Systembolaget”…) I’ve been observing what people are buying.
And it seems that every man and his dog is buying their wine not in bottles but in big carton boxes! An astounding 65% of all wine in Sweden is bought in 3-litre Bag-In-Boxes (BIB).
I cannot recall ever seeing a BIB in Spain… Continue

Women smell their way to men...and to fine wine
Many different studies have proven that women out-perform men when it comes to smell sensitivity.
Some say it dates back to the cave women having to smell whose child was whose and some say female sex hormones have a role to play. I believe some women can have better smell sensitivity because we have been training our nose from a young age. From scented stickers and pens at the age of 3 or 4, picking flowers for mum at the age of 5, then the toy lipsticks and nail polish with… Continue

Fotball bullfighting
I really love living in Spain. There are so many things that are almost like back home (in my case, back home is Sweden), but then again so many things that are not. An example of the latter is Bullfighting Football.
I live in Getxo, a nice part of greater Bilbao that looks over a bay with a decent beach and an old fishing port, originally enough called Puerto Viejo. Every year the second week of August is fiesta week in Puerto Viejo.
The old port has years ago silted up… Continue

Levi Glenn said… - Hey Anna,
Thanks for responding so promptly. We will be traveling all around Spain visiting wine producers, but don't know if there may be some interesting small traditional producers to visit near Bilbao. Also maybe some lodging, restaurant, and general activities recommendations. We want to truly experience that region.
Thanks,
Levi

- Hej igen,
Nej, jag är inte en Svensk med en ovanlig namn. Jag kommar från Québec, i Canada, men min svåger är från Göteborg och bor i Stockholm med min hustrus syster. Och tolv år sedan, det var en Svensk kvinna i Québec, och hon lära mig svenska. Det var mycket lycklig: bara tjugo svensk människor bor här, i den stad Québec...
Jag tycker mycket om Sverige: den sista sommer, jag for til Stockholm med min familje för sommar semester. Det var bra!
Hur kommar du att bor i Bilbao?

Looking to buy cheap wine for China
Hello!
My company is based out of California and specializes in exporting and distributing wine to China.
We are currently looking for any Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot wines that fall in the $1-4/bottle price range for a client that wants 1 small order and one much larger bulk order.
If anyone with bottled and labeled wine in this price range and is interested in exporting to China don't hesitate to contact me. Also, if you just have general questions,…
