A wine experience in the heart of Skåne

An evening in the dining room with the winemaker from La Morra

Alberto Voerzio studied agronomy and oenology, and worked with his cousin Roberto Voerzio, in Burgundy, and in Bordeaux. In 2006, he returned to his family’s home village of La Morra to make wine under his own name. Today, he tends some of Barolo’s most compelling cru sites, among them La Serra and Castagni. There, the vines grow in limestone, sand, and clay, on slopes that face south and southwest.

His philosophy is easy to describe and hard to live by: as little as possible should stand between the place and the glass. Alberto works to biodynamic principles and harvests by hand. Yields are kept low, and the toughest selection happens right at the vines. In the glass, that translates to red berries, roses, and spice, with tannins that soften beautifully over the years.

Together with sommelier Oscar Skoog, Alberto will talk about terroir, craft, and what it means to make Barolo today. Expect an evening of complex wines, great food, and stories worth taking your time over.

A relaxed way to kick off the evening

In the afternoon, we’re opening up the Mirror Bar for guest sommelier Alexander Nielé and his colleagues from Jakobsson & Söderström Vin. They’ve put together a by-the-glass list to work your way through at a gentle pace, with snacks from the kitchen to match.

Stay for a while or make an afternoon of it — it’s a lovely way to ease into the evening.

Port wine from Porto, now in the fourth generation

Poças has been making port wine for over a hundred years. It’s one of the few houses founded by a Portuguese family that still owns it, and today it’s the fourth generation carrying the legacy forward.

During the evening, Poças will be mingling in the dining room, pouring some of their most treasured drops. The trio from J&S Vin will be there too. Grab a glass, ask a question, and let the evening take as much time as it needs.

An evening with what might just be Sweden’s most beloved wine merchant

Robban’s background includes stints at places like Fäviken Magasinet. He’s won the Swedish sommelier championship and competed at both the world and European championships. This evening, he’s taking over the dining room and the wine list.

Pompette’s portfolio draws in both curious beginners and the most seasoned wine drinkers. It’s been a hit at Systembolaget and at some of Sweden’s sharpest restaurants. Robban will share his best stories about French winemakers and tell you how you become the wine importers’ Instagram sensation. Bring your hardest questions — this is the evening to ask them.

Featuring the legendary La-La wines

Oscar Johansson from Wine Affair has been working with wine for many years. For him, a great glass is as much about the people, the places, and the craft behind it as what’s in the glass itself. This evening, he takes us into the world of E. Guigal through a selection of wines from the Rhône Valley.

The evening’s highlight comes from Côte-Rôtie. La Mouline, La Landonne and La Turque have long been counted among the northern Rhône’s most iconic wines. Now, the small family has a new addition: La Reynarde, Guigal’s fourth La-La wine and a new chapter in the story of these celebrated vineyard sites.

This evening is for wine lovers, for anyone curious about the Rhône, and for those who want to taste wines that rarely make it into the glass. Expect great wines, great food, and hopefully a few glasses you’ll remember for a long time.

The podcast moves into Maryhill for one evening

Hemmasommelieren makes the wine world a little less pretentious and a great deal more fun. Fredrik and Erik take listeners through grapes, regions, food, and travel — and to the people behind the bottles. On 31 October, they leave the studio for an exclusive live recording from Maryhill Estate.

Fredrik Lindfors has been named both Sweden’s and the Nordics’ best sommelier, and in 2019 he finished fifth in the world championships. Today, he works with Belle Maison, helping Swedish wine lovers discover personal wines from small producers across Europe. Erik is the curious enthusiast who asks the questions many of us are secretly wondering. He challenges Fredrik’s expertise with humour and warmth.

The evening will feature stories, practical wine tips, and a tasting of wines from Belle Maison — and you’ll be able to ask your questions directly to Fredrik and Erik. It’s just as good for the curious beginner as for the dedicated wine geek. It’s every bit as much an evening with friends as a wine education.
