We're the best because of our eccentricities, not despite them

This review is certainly a change of tone from what has been written about us by them previously. Merci beaucoup, as some of our number would put it!

What I would like to add is that when we are reviewed the articles more often than not start out by saying "despite the lack of menu", "despite the cost per cover", "despite the fact that we only found out what we had eaten after we'd eaten it". That's a lot of despite. I understand that our concept might seem very outlandish to the average Swede, but it's the concept that keeps you coming back. So, we're not the best despite our strange ideas, we're the best because of them.

I was in Systembolaget for consultative reasons and found the bottles in the images above. (No, I didn't leave with them) Intrigued I went to morbergsdrycker.se and found a largely misspelled site that wants me to believe that the Viognier has "detectable floric (?) nuances such as (...) "blue lavender". 
Thoughts:
1. WTF?
2. "Blue lavender"? Meaning what, the Ontario Violet? Please.

What wine to serve with a tortilla?

I know, I know. It's a problem. Although Kim is preparing the most delicious street food to grab and go for a picknick in the park, we can't hand you that perfect bottle of wine to go with it. (I know why some part of the world are more relaxed. It's spelled wine and a two-hour lunch siesta). If I was on Gotland I'd get me a loudspeaker and go calling for the right to my food culture.

You had me at Merlot

It's summer! Time to fall in love!
I don't know about you, but I'm all about to fall headlong into a plethora of gorgeous courses served up with the best summer wines in town.

Well, you know were to find us...
