It's starting to get colder in the UK. Heavy rain and darker nights have set in. Here are a few highlights from my tasting (and drinking) this month.

A selection of standout wine moments from September, featuring wines from Chianti Classico, Beaujolais and Oregon.

To close down a busy few days of tasting with the VDP (an association of over 200 growers from all over Germany), Paul Caputo stopped in at Heimat in Frankfurt to raid one of the best German wine lists in the city. The mood called for bone-dry Riesling of Grand Cru quality, with plenty of miles on the clock.

Each week Paul Caputo picks out three bottles from his cellar, a collection built up over the last 20 years in the wine trade. This first entry features a 2018 Susumaniello rosato from Salento, a 2016 Soave and 2013 Nosiola from the foothills of the Dolomites.
