On Monday evening-commencing at 7 pm - the group
met at Michael Page's house for their monthly meeting.
present were..Michael Page, Lynn Sleep, Val
Westall, Jean Symes, Sue Hucker, Lesley Bywater, Margaret Gilby, Brian
Gilby and Kathie Horner.
Our first bottle of wine was a white Chardonnay
Pinot Grigio 2011 from Italy..
Top marks to Jean Symes who correctly guessed the
wines origin.
Some of the comments from our group were that the
wine was bright, light clean smell, maybe
yeasty, nicely balanced, slightly tarty with a hint of
gooseberry or apple.. a pleasant wine overall
average mark of 7 out of 10.
--------------------------------------------
the second bottle was a red wine called Dreamtime
Ridge from Australia.. no year was shown on label. but it was described as a
fresh, fruity, easy drinking red,
great with pasta, pizza and grilled meats(is this what Aussie's live on
??)
this scored an overage mark of 6 out of 10. there
were no correct guesses for its origins.
some of the comments were clear, bright, dry
medium wine.. tarty or smokey with a hint of plum, blackberry or
cherry.
----------------
It was again a very enjoyable evening and our next
meeting will be on Monday evening the 3 June at Margaret's and
Brian's.
