Lindemans South Africa Chardonnay

Back from my trip without much wine news to report. Between family and work, it was a busy time. I did manage to enjoy a glass or two of tasty New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc (thanks Mom!), and shared an old standby with some good friends - but that’s about it.

Wine & Chocolate

In addition to last Saturday’s Old/New World tasting, I ran a Wine & Chocolate tasting on Monday, which is always lots of fun. If you look at them closely, there can be a lot of similarities between wine and chocolate. They can complement each other if you’re careful, but the sweetness and strong flavours can bring a whole new set of challenges to the table.

Pasqua Primitivo

I ran a tasting on Saturday with ten wines, comparing the Old World with the New World. The core of the tasting was a set of four challenges.
