MWPW, Ståle Nordgaard, on lamb chops & Nordic heroes

on Monday, 14 May 2012.

Ståle Nordgaard shares his wine do's, don'ts, & don't mind if I do!

1. How did you become interested in wine? Was there a specific bottle,

trip, event, or something else that hooked you on wine?

Nordic_hero

My first glass of Radici Taurasi was an epiphany

2. What wine(s) are you loving right now?

Mostly wines from Bordeaux and Piemonte, but I love a glass of Ch.Mussar with my lamb chop.

Mmmm, that sounds delish...

3. The craziest wine/food pairing I ever had (or want to try) was/is:

Argueso Amontillado (sherry) and clams. Not to be recommended....

Ha ha, noted!!

4. I know I'm excited about a certain wine when I.....

Want everyone I know to try some

Stock it like a squirrel hoarding nuts for the winter

Enter into a deep, zen-like state of contemplation when I drink it

5. If you could share a bottle of wine with someone famous (living or not) with whom would you share it?

Fritjof Nansen

OK we admit, we had to look him up, but WOW... He was one busy guy! We wouldn't mind sharing a bottle (or 3) with him too...

6. If you could travel to any wine region in the world right now, where would it be?

Piemonte

7. If I were a wine, a wine writer would describe me as.....

Complex, Dry

TusenTakk Ståle! Hopefully one day we can join you for wine & lamb chops in Norway!
