A local bar had a wine tasting evening yesterday. I was sceptical, half-expecting it to be a thinly disguised sales effort, but I was wrong. A great selection of wines, hosted by someone who knew what he was talking about.
The highlight for me was a barrel fermented white Rioja, which was stunning.
Unfortunately I forgot to spit (every time), hence the water
EDIT: I have just found my tasting sheet. My notes are quite neat at the top, gradually degenerating into a scrawl halfway down, and the last three wines are blank (apart from a couple of stains). I haven't got the hang of this tasting lark yet
Rich! my dear fellow, how astute of you to obtain a half bottle for free!, personally if I have a half bottle left it's going in a glass ,
Maybe I should have phrased it differently... The bottle is 35cl, green, and a cork closure. This bottle type is preferred for putting expensive port kits in (well, it is by Pete and I) But, they have been in short supply in green for some time from home brew shops.
The 'half bottle' referred to the glass rather than the contents!
Some homebrew mild and a bottle of my cranberry and blueberry; which really is improving with each bottle that I open. I have just got to make more - start saving the pennies.
