Best moment is when Robert Parker says that we should be making wine more accessible and friendly and GV turns the camera on himself to capture a big smile and a wink.That was a real laugh out loud moment for me https://khosim.com/

  • Was a great tasting! The 1945 was still a really interesting wine even after having my palete blasted by some of the more agressive earlier wines. My favourite 2 wines of the tasting though were the Clarendon Hills Old Vines Romas (number 17) and the Clos Erasmus 2007 Priorat (number 11). These types of tastings should be a lot more available for the wine consumer rather for just the trade. Still have a big issue about these massive wines being pushed such as many of the Rhones etc. There is no need to have such high alcohol levels in these wines. People need wines promoted that aren’t going to blow their heads off and can be enjoyed now!!! Was still great to see a reminder of the tasting and to see that I wasn’t the only one not wearing a suit!!

    Lots of fun. THanks Gary! Curious how many folks show up and what does it cost?

    QOTD: Local Culinary School and Inn had wine tastings every few weeks and I was lucky enough to attend or serve many of them. That’s when I caught the bug.
