Education in wine

So tonight we have been experiencing a wine tasting evening online!!! This is what was left over..........

PS I should add that these are very small whisky tasting glasses about 2 inches high so not actually holding very much really!
😂😂

It was fascinating sitting here by myself while Mr B sat in the study participating from there.
I wonder how much he has left!!!!
The two guys were so interesting to listen to and I learned so much, and made lots of notes.
Fascinating, but I think it made sense.
Three good things
1. A good walk this morning - 7500 steps. Then 4000 just walking around the house while I sorted, tidied and dumped lots of 'No longer needed' paper stuff.
2. A lovely break - Allan's suggestion and we drove the few miles to Pitmedden Garden, one of our favourite places.
3. Lots of laundry washed, dried in fresh air and away!
You certainly have all kinds of colors. I know nothing about wine. My introduction to wine was Boones Farm Apple or Strawberry. In other words, koolaid wine.

Goodness Sallie I’m amazed you are fit enough to post tonight….what are you going to do with all that? I am not much of a wine drinker…no more than one glass or I’m ill in the night but I do love a G&T.

I only had tiny tastings....and these leftovers are all in the fridge for Saturday...we're eating out on Friday. So interesting to hear the chat from the two experts who know the makers and all the challenges they have faced. One grower had some very jealous neighbours who drained all her wine away!!!! The company raised enough money for her to continue and now she's doing well!

Henri Russell and I took a six week wine tasting course, we went to a wine shop once a week, we learned about wines from all over the world. That course helped me immeasurably as the years went by and I attended wine dinners. Learning what wines you like and ones you don’t sure helps when you go out to dinner and order wine; and when you are shopping for wine. Those are very generous pours from your tasting class!

Fabulous idea! Which did you prefer then?

I'm not much of a wine drinker, I know the difference between red and white and that's it
