Deze unieke SommelierBox is samengesteld door sommelier Cas Kratz en head chef Sidney Schutte van restaurant Spectrum ** in Amsterdam.
De prachtige selectie wijnen waar de sommelier van Spectrum zelf intensief mee werkt is nu ook voor thuis verkrijgbaar aan een super scherpe all-in prijs. Alle opbrengsten van de box gaan direct naar het restaurant!
De wijnbox is exclusief verkrijgbaar bij HermanWines en bestaat uit:
- Champagne Efflorenscence Blanc des noir, Extra brut - Marie Courtin 2015 Deze vintages Champagne komt uit de Côte des Bar, dit is het domein van de Pinot Noir. De champagnes zijn wat ronder en fruitiger. In Spectrum serveerde wij deze Champagne niet in een flûte maar in een normaal wijnglas. Zo'n klein flûte-tje deed de wijn geen eer aan en tevens moest ik dan continu bijschenken.
- Pierre Morey - Aligoté - 2018 Legendarische wijnmaker uit Meursault. Zijn wijnen zijn levend en vliegen het glas uit. Strak, ziltig, licht kruidig doch volslank.
- Peter Jacob Kühn - Lenchen Riesling Kabinett - 2018 Wij zijn van de stichting ''een klein restzoetje mag'', ontzettend gastronomisch juist daardoor. Beetje leeftijd erop maakt gezellig, vriendelijk maar laat ook wijsheid zien. Kabinett stijl waardoor ie licht is met een speels zuurtje. Heerlijke veelzijdige Riesling die zowel bij de pittige keuken past, maar ook als niet al te zoete dessertwijn een perfecte match is!
- Pierre Gaillard - Crozes Hermitage - 2019 Uit het dorpjes Crozes wat zijn naam verbond met de Hermitage heuvel. Iets soepeler en lichter maar wel peperig, gerookte tonen en iets animaals. Nu in huis halen en in het seizoen met wild drinken of gewoon nu met iets van de bbq.
- Veronica Ortega - Quite - 2016 Mencia is een druif waar ik tegenwoordig helemaal wild van word. Slank en fruit maar wel kruidigheid. De druif kan ook goed ouderen alhoewel dit exemplaar zich nu erg lekker leent. Afkomstig uit het noordwesten van Spanje op de oostelijke helling in Bierzo waar de wijngaarden de zon zien opkomen. Het was voor mij heel moeilijk om niet bij elke keer dat ik een fles van deze wijn opende, een stukje eend van Sidney uit de keuken te pikken.
- Pardas - Xarel·lo - 2015 Wijnen met elkaar vergelijken doe ik liever niet maar Xarel-lo uit Penedès is in mijn ogen het Spaanse antwoord op Bourgogne. Sinaasappel, mango, vanille, aardse toon het mag duidelijk blijken dat er kwaliteit gemaakt wordt.
- Jeanne Gaillard - Viognier - 2020 Deze achternaam kennen we van de Crozes Hermitage eerder in dit lijstje. Zo vader, zo dochter! De wijnen hebben een mooie vulling met het gebruik van een tikkie nieuw hout, zo'n 10%. De viognier druif is hier gebruikt en maakt een zeer goede begeleider voor kreeft. Schijnt iets te zijn wat bijvoorbeeld uit Zeeland komt hè Sidney en Herman 😉
- Vincent Pinard - Sancerre 'Creots' - 2019 Gewichtige stijl Sauvignon Blanc, dat verdient deze druif ook. Gelukkig zijn er een aantal wijn-domaines die begrijpen hoe hiermee om te gaan zoals Vincent Pinard. De rijping op de droesem drukt het fruit iets maar krijgt daardoor gewicht, iets om in vast te bijten. Ik wil dit nu drinken eigenlijk..
- Bruno Cormerais - Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Maxime Zooooooo'n ondergewaardeerd gebied, erg strakke stijl wijn. Nou moet ik eerlijk zeggen dat ligt dan ook in mijn straatje en tevens de kookstijl van Sidney, veel schaal en schelpdieren, veel spel met zuren. Maar warempel, deze van cuvée Bruno komt uit 2016 waardoor hij meer souplesse krijgt, het citrusfruit blijft behouden maar wordt bijgestaan door geitenkaas (in de neus, echt waar). Echt zo'n underdog wijn die nu lekker is en over 10 jaar nog.
- Jeff Carrel - Vielle Mule Rosé - 2020 Aardbeitje hier, framboosje daar, makkelijk te begrijpen, door velen lekker gevonden. Vriendelijke ezel op het etiket helpt en wie houdt er niet van ezels? Perfecte wijn voor een feestje en wie houdt er niet van een feestje?
- Jean Claude Lapalu - Brouilly Vieille Vignes - 2015 Spijzig, amandel, leer, stallig, zacht, tannines waar gaat deze wijn heen, lucht nodig? Is ie te jong? Dit is toch beaujolais? Brouilly is het land om de heuvel van Côte de Brouilly in het zuiden van de beaujolais waar de grond vulkanischer is. Dit maakt de Gamay druif robuuster en geeft meer textuur aan de wijn. Met oude wijnstokken maakt Lapalu dé krachtpatser van dit gebied.
-
Jean Louis Deparis - Pinot Blanc - 2020 What's in the name, Jean Louis! Vriendelijke wijn, bevlogen, zacht in het fruit door de vele zonuren in de Alsace maar hij blijft een sprankelend mineraaltje hebben.

I love indie authors
Format: Kindle
Let me preface this by saying—writing a book is HARD! Coming up with characters so real that they take on a life of their own, building an entire world, the political/magic system. Designing all of this is no easy feat.
That being said.
This book had so. Much. Potential. I was so excited to read this book, and I plan to finish it for the sake of finishing it. But. At this point, I would have set I’d aside as a DNF. The book could have benefited from some form of a developmental editor, or an in depth beta reader. I will say this. Within 5 chapters, there are so many… phrases that I’ve highlight that I’ve latched onto. Phrases about books and storms that were written BEAUTIFULLY! So, bravo Linton for hitting the nail on the head as to why readers disappear like they do!
However, 5 chapters in and I can already guess where a majority of the story is going. But that’s also because I read like a mad-woman and have read this particular type of story, many different ways. Enemies to lovers where the FMC isn’t who she thinks she is. I am all about supporting indie authors. BUT. I also feel like criticism should be constructive, and not degrading. So if I could give this book a 4 1/2, strictly because I know the work the author put into this, I would. So if you’re looking for an easy read with characters that aren’t hard to follow, look no further! They are easy to love and easy to care for. One of the biggest issues they lacked, to me, was depth and plausible reactions to their situations. JD, you have done BEAUTIFULLY writing this book. I applaud and will continue to buy your books in the future. My BIGGEST recommendation is to definitely hire some form of an editor for any upcoming books. Or in turn, I will be happy to beta read for you. Should my opinion change of the book by the time I finish, I will happily get on here and say I was wrong, delete this review and post a different one. Until then…

this book set my soul ablaze! <3
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
"i had never really cared about the weather before, but now, clear skies meant everything to me, and i was grateful to see another calm morning."
this book. this book!
i loved the last storm so much. the writing style. the descriptions. the world-building. the characters. the plot twists. the tropes. the sexual tension. the—everything. everything was magic.
the last storm follows our two main characters, ara and rogue, giving us dual POV from both characters (which i loved, btw). ara, a human girl who has been locked away in her father’s estate most of her life, just wants to see the world. all she dreams of is seeing what else is out there. but when her father announces her engagement, she knows that dream will become nothing more than just that—a dream.
rogue, the fae king, is tired of the attacks being rained down on his people. in hopes of finding out the human king adon’s secrets, rogue infiltrates auryna’s borders. in his last resort to gain information, he visits the local pub. to his surprise, the general’s precious only child is sitting at the bar, drink round after round of mead. now he just needs to figure out how to take her without anyone noticing.
first and foremost, let’s talk about the endless list of my favorite tropes and aspects that this book had.
›› enemies to lovers
›› fated mates
›› one bed
›› the chosen one
›› elemental magic
›› actually good and shocking plot twists!!!
›› badass female lead
›› morally-grey love interest
›› fae/human war
›› force proximity
›› touch her and die
›› who did this to you?
›› captor/captive
›› praise k!nk (panting profusely)
“you are entirely the opposite of everything that i am, and i would gladly wear your shackles if it meant i could have you.”
it’s been a long while since i read a book i liked this much. but i just loved this book. it set my soul ablaze. thank you to the author for writing this beautiful story and for blessing me with an eARC! i loved it so much that i immediately bought the paperback upon release!
every aspect of this book was just beautiful. i was blown away by the way the world was described, the way feelings were portrayed, the way the elements were used in the fae’s magic. it just—AHHH! i just absolutely adored it all. i cannot wait for the second book to release next year!
also the way he calls her “little storm” sets my heart on fire.
this was a fast-paced read and if you are a lover of acotar, fbaa, deal with the elf king, or any other similar books, then please stop everything you’re doing and read this book right now. you won’t regret it.
thank you again, jd linton, for giving me the privilege of reading your arc and for blessing this world with the world you created. <3
"something about him pulled me in, like a moth to a flame, and it felt as if i was just waiting for the inevitable burn that came with flying too close to the fire."

Fun, both heartwarming and heartbreaking
Format: Kindle
Only my second first person written selection, I am still getting used to that aspect, but unlike my first, I enjoyed that the story was told through both MCs. A great enemies to lovers, forced proximity, fated love etc, that resonated to me. There were some small twists that I could see coming, but also a few that I didn’t quite see until the characters were also seeing. Personally, I am more interested in the story than the spice, but with that said, it was well seasoned! I am kind of new to the spice world so I can’t say for sure how this would rate, but it definitely had some heat. I am very glad I happened across this author, and I do plan on also reading the next book….if nothing else, just to see for myself the “transformation” of the characters I’ve grown to love!

😍😍 BEST DEBUT NOVEL EVER
Format: Paperback
I’m having trouble finding accurate words to describe the way this book made me feel, but I am going to do my best.
To start off with basic elements, the character and world building are phenomenal. I feel a strong bond to not only the two main characters, Ara and Rogue, but to each and every character introduced throughout the book. The author did a stellar job of giving each of them unique personhood. All of the scenes are beautifully described. So much so that throughout the entirety of the book, I could see every scene: the towns, the castles, the meadows, the landscape. I have had difficulty with this and with distinguishing between outlying characters while reading in the past, but I did not have to think to remember details of world or character building because they flowed naturally within the story and were described well. I have read book series before that made me want to be a part of that world, but I actually felt like I got to step into Auryna and Ravaryn!
The plot twists!! Although this is not a suspense novel, it still had me on a rollercoaster of emotions and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I haven’t cried actual tears over a book since I was in high school (and I’ve read a LOT). This book finally broke the floodgates in the final few chapters. Multiple times. And we love a good cliffhanger. It truly made me FEEL.
THE SPICE is a solid 3.5/5. Some of the scenes had me flushed, some had me taking notes, some just had my jaw slack and my mouth hanging open. Bravo, JD Linton, bravo.
The relationships: friendships, family, romantic, ALL of the relationships in this book have so much meaning. The author does a great job at making you feel the love, the anger, the peace, the frustrations, the safety, the familiarity, etc. between the characters.
Ara and Rogue. I can not say enough and I also do not want to say too much. Just know that I feel like I know them both, to their core. I know what their childhood looks likes, their darkest moments, their biggest fears, their dreams and passions, what they want in life… The POV switches were seamless. I am so happy this author decided to let us see from both sets of eyes.
I can not wait for book two after that cliffhanger. And there is SO much potential for at least one prequel, I can’t wait to see where this author goes! I hope this series continues and flourishes. Fingers crossed!

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book.
Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that.
I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice.
This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
