Last night I went to listen to a live pod with Tove and Daniella. They had invited Marcus Jernmark from Frantzen, Joakim Almqvist from Punk Royale and Anders Husa.

Chinese New Year
So it is now the year of the pig. We celebrate the Chinese New Year every year with a nice dinner at our house.
Mariestads big bang dinner
Their master brewer Richard Bengtsson has the last years been travelling around with some of Sweden’s best chefs. During his trips he’s been taking inspiration for different beers. And from each trip they have released two different beers. 
Champagne Palmer
Tried out the fab champagne Palmer Blanc de Noirs yesterday with food. I wonder why people aren’t drinking champagne when they have a nice meal. I have always liked it, and with the food we were served yesterday it worked our perfectly!
Last night
It was my turn to host the book club, so I had stock up on wine and cheese.
This is my favourite wine out of a box! It’s really good with some cheese, or a stew!
Prosecco time
Well I can always have some prosecco. And yesterday we had some Zonin just before dinner. I actually continued drinking it with the fish soup;)
I’m a bubbly kind of girl😋🍾 
Wines of Germany
I went for a combined wine tasting with some mushroom picking yesterday with Wines of Germany and Neonatur.
We tried out some Pinot Noir, and there were some really good ones! Wagner Stempel Pinot Noir Siefersheim was very nice and a favourite, and the spätburgunder Julis was a cheap and very fresh Pinot Noir.
The italian experience
Went for a italian lunch with Zonin and Rocca di Montemassi at L’Avventura today with the owner Francesco Zonin. We started out with a nice Zonin Prosecco.
And then we started with some antipasti, prosciutto di Parma, Wild boar salami, olive tapenade, parmigiana region and a fennel salad. Combined with a Rocca di Montemassi Calasole Vermentino. The Calasole is fresh and has a touch of citrus.
Penny and Bill
This bar/restaurant is situated at Östermalm in Stockholm. The place is dark and cozy, and very inviting!
The gang working there is very service minded. I haven’t eaten there, but if the food is as good as their fabulous drinks. Then it’s great;) 
Operakällaren
This amazing place is like traveling back in time. Operakällaren started off in 1787 in the basement of the old opera house that king Gustaf III had built a few years before.
Logroño in Spain
A tapas night in scenic Logroño is a very relaxed thing. You can go between places, order tapas and drink some cava and wine. 
Red currant cordial
Easy to make, and it is full of vitamins.
Ingredients:
2 kg (4 lb) redcurrants
6 dl (21 oz) caster (superfine) sugar
4 dl water (13,5 oz)
1 Vanilla pod
Monkey 47
Some more pictures from the beautiful distillery of Monkey 47. Hidden away in the Black Forest in Germany, you find the most beautiful distillery. Monkey 47 that is. When you go there you have no clue as you follow the little roads leading to this fantastic place!( by appointment only!) The Monkey 47 gin is … Läs mer
German wines
Wines of Germany invited me to Riesling Week. And Germany is somehow a bit forgotten, even if They are a really big wine country.
I will show you some of my favourites:
Brochet
Brochet vinprovning med Frederic Brochet på La Cornue’s show room i Stockholm. Brochet är en favorit, så jag njöt väldigt av mat ch dryckeskombinationerna! Deras dessertvin, Quartz de Chaume Grand Cru är nog ett av de godaste dessertvinerna jag har smakat. Smaken satt kvar när jag cyklade hem mot Lidingö igen. Den bärnstensfärgade drycken är … Läs mer
With my little cuz Sofie;)
A perfect day for visiting a roof top bar in Stockholm! Barebells were promoting their chocolate, so we had dessert before lunch.
Mae Phim
So time for some relaxation in our friends weekends house in Mae Phim. After the busy days in Bangkok it was like heaven getting here. We ate, swam and talked. And had the odd drink;)
Rhubarb cordial
I normally never drink cordial, but a home made rhubarb cordial is something I can down in a sec! I prefer to make my own; 1 kg of trimmed washed rhubarbs, that you chop into smaller pieces. That you boil until soft ,then drain them over a bowl or a jug with a piece … Läs mer
