My Summer Collection

I've picked my flight of wines for this summer. A good blend of whites, reds, rosé and bubbles. Summer vacation up north in Norway, calls for many different occasions; wine vice. You need good aperitifs, interesting food pairings and things to just enjoy on the terrace. 

Kjerringøy is a peninsula 30 minutes outside of Bodø, north of the Arctic circle. Stunning scenery, great for hiking and where my better half has her family roots. 

To this beautiful place I've brought a good variety of bottles for everyone to enjoy. I've selected things to go well with my cooking, but also new stuff that can be fun for all to try.
