Montgras NinquenDit is kroon juweel op het werk van de Familie Gras die in 1993 het wijnhuis Montgras hebben opgericht. Inmiddels is het wijnhuis hard gegroeid en hebben ze vele mooie wijngaarden mogen aankopen. Hernn en Eduardo Gras wilde altijd een top wijn maken uit Chili die de boeken in ging als uitmuntend of exceptioneel. Nou dat si gelukt met hun paradepaartje de Ninquen. Het woord Ninquen betekend letterlijk een plat stuk op de berg betekend. Dat is ook waar
Dit is kroon juweel op het werk van de Familie Gras die in 1993 het wijnhuis Montgras hebben opgericht. Inmiddels is het wijnhuis hard gegroeid en hebben ze vele mooie wijngaarden mogen aankopen. Hernán en Eduardo Gras wilde altijd een top wijn maken uit Chili die de boeken in ging als uitmuntend of exceptioneel. Nou dat si gelukt met hun paradepaartje de Ninquen. Het woord Ninquen betekend letterlijk een plat stuk op de berg betekend. Dat is ook waar de oude ranken staan voor deze top wijn. Er wordt gebruik gemaakt van de Cabernet Sauvignon en Syrah druif die opgroeien in het wijngebied Colchagua.Volledige handmatige oogst voor deze rode Ninquen
De ligging van de wijngaard is uniek te noemen, de trossen krijgen veel zon uren maar ook heel veel koelte door de wind die door de ranken waait. De sterk dalende nacht temperatuur geeft de druiven nog meer verkoeling waardoor er een uniek stukje Chili is ontstaan. De oude ranken staan al tien tallen jaren in de rijke bodem structuur en geven de druiven hun kracht en rijkdom. Deze oogst is daarom uniek en wordt helemaal met de hand geoogst om zo enkel de beste trossen te gebruiken voor Montgras haar Top wijn.Houtlagering voor de Montgras Ninquen
Na de oogst rijpen de schillen maar liefst dertig dagen mee om vel extractie aan de wijn te geven. Hierna is het zwarte sap klaar om gerijpt te worden op eiken houten vaten voor een periode van minimaal veertien maanden. Ja het wordt een wijn om nooit meer te vergeten. Alleen wordt de Ninquen beperkt gemaakt en daarom is hij niet altijd leverbaar. Maar gelukkig krijgen wij elk jaar wat van deze top wijn en daar zijn we heel gelukkig mee. Als de kruk van de fles gaat begint het feest met slingers en ballonnen. Hij geur naar roodfruit, zwarte bessen, wilde aardbeien, een toets cederhout, vanille en cacao. Bij het inschenken zien we een hele donkere kleur met daarbij een mooie lichte paarse schittering. Met onze neus boven het glas Ninquen noteerde wij heel veel indrukken van onder andere zwart fruit, kruiden, vanille, drop, cederhout en een beetje anijs. De smaak is betoverend, rijke indrukken van zwart fruit met daarbij kruiden zoals laurier, kaneel en anijs. Achter op de tong een mooi samenspel tussen de tannines en tonen van vanille, cederhout en bessen en bramen. De lange rijpe afdronk blijft heel lang hangen en verdient een mooi stukje rood vlees. Wat dat is de perfecte combinatie.Shipping Notes

A Comprehensive Balanced History of the Guadalcanal Campaign -- Must Read!
Format: Hardcover
I've read a number of good books on the Guadalcanal campaign, and always thought that "Neptune's Inferno" by Hornfischer was the absolute best.
I was wrong. Although Hornfischer does a superb account of the Navy and its travails and triumphs, Inferno doesn't delve deeply into the Marine (and Army) land battles. This book does both. Moreover, it provides a continuous timeline of both, and does so in such a way that the reader better understands both as related actions. For instance, I was never really aware that for the first three and a half months the Americans controlled the seas during daylight, and the Japanese at night (sounds a little like Viet Nam). The November 13 sea battle between Americans and Japanese -- in which US cruisers took on Japanese battleships and two American admirals died -- was in fact a clash of a major last ditch effort by the Japanese to reinforce their troops and destroy Henderson Field, which would have allowed them to control the seas both day and night. By that time there had been multiple bloody battles ashore between the Marines and Japanese, with the balance favoring the Marines, but if the Japanese had wrested control of the airfield and seas that would have been old history. The book includes a good view from the Japanese perspective, and some little known historical tidbets as well, e.g., Guadalcanal received its name from the Spanish home town of a ships officer who accompanied Spanish explorer Don Alvaro Medana, who discovered the island during a 1568 expedition to discover the fabled King Solomon's gold mines. Who knew? :-)
Bottom line: I highly recommend this book, both for its balanced coverage of the entire campaign, land and sea, and even more for its integrated narrative -- you know what was taking place (or had taken place) on almost a day-by-day basis, which allows the reader to fully appreciate how actions ashore influenced those at sea, and vice versa.
IMO, a must read, even for those who thought (like me) that they knew it all!

The Island Of Death
Format: Hardcover
On August 7th, 1942, American Marines stormed ashore on Guadalcanal. What lay before them was a six-month odyssey of fighting against the best of what the Japanese had to offer. In this fine book, author Joseph Wheelan describes the battle that turned the tide in the Pacific War.
The Japanese had started construction of an airfield on Guadalcanal. If completed, Japanese aircraft would be able to harass American convoys and threaten Australia. The Americans seized the airfield and eventually, planes from the Cactus Air Force began attacking the Japanese.
Throughout the book, the reader learns about all phases of the Guadalcanal campaign, including the battles of Alligator Creek and Bloody Ridge. On the sea, the Americans and Japanese slugged it out at Savo Island, as well as the great naval battles of November, 1942. Names such as Chesty Puller, John Baslone, "Archie" Vandegrift, Joe Foss, and "Bull" Halsey became household names in the United States.
Each side lost many men, ships, and planes, but the tenacity and, finally, the industrial might and the ability to rapidly replace losses, led the Americans to victory. Never again would the Japanese regain the offensive in the Pacific War.
"Midnight in the Pacific" is a very good book, and the author has done a good job of describing all of the main points of the battle. Each chapter is broken down into a single month's worth of action, and the narrative is well-written. Highly recommended.

Good Narrative History
Format: Hardcover
The account of the Guadalcanal campaign was well-written. It has several good maps but it falls short with the two carrier battles associated with the action. There should have detailed maps for the Battle of the Eastern Solomons and the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands. Aside from this shortcoming, the book provides an excellent, readable history of a crucial confrontation between the US and Japan.

A Very Thorough Accounting of One of the Most Savage Battles of World War 2
Format: Kindle
My father served in the United States Marine Corps during World War 2 and fought in the first offensive battle by the US during the war, the battle for the island of Guadalcanal. He was seriously wounded there and evacuated back to the states where he spent a year in a naval hospital. As a result, I have read many of the books about this battle. This book was particularly interesting because the author described the battle from the perspective of both the allied forces and the Japanese, drawing from historical records and other books. It was a very thorough accounting and demonstrated what a monstrous battle this was. I only wish my father were still alive so that I could have discussed it with him. His experience at Guadalcanal was not something he would often talk about, but considering savagery of what he saw and endured, I understand. If you are interested in Guadalcanal, I recommend this book.
