Man O’ War recently arrived in Stockholm after a great sail across the North Sea from the UK. While in town we wanted to catch up with Simon and Calle of Concealed Wines (www.concealedwines.com ) who are bringing Man O’ War wine to Sweden.
With impeccable timing we arrived in Stockholm just in time for the biggest party of the year…Midsommers. By chance Simon invited us to stop by a Midsommers party on the island of Ljusterö in the Stockholm Archipelago. Never one to turn down a good invitation we decided to drop in while exploring the Archipelago. Luckily we had a couple of bottles of 2007 Ironclad and the recently bottled 2008 Valhalla rolling around in the boot; and so bearing appropriate gifts we touched down at the party in a field at the water’s edge. What an amazing location, we have some great islands in NZ but Sweden has so many.
We had a great afternoon stop with some spectacular herring, good coffee and great people. Given that we still had to “get behind the wheel” we had to avoid the schnapps…flying can be such a cruel and unforgiving mistress! It looked like it was turning into a great party, and we are really looking forward to coming back to Stockholm soon. Skål, B
