RWW (or R-dub-dub to the cool kids) for another week.
This weeks candidates
Taylors 2006 Clare Valley Shiraz
3/4 enjoyed.The general consensus being that it was a nice ‘thick’ wine. Lots of flavour and body.
and
Sileni 2007 Merlot
1/4 enjoyed (sucks to be them!). Comments varied from “easy drinking, but young” to “disappointing”.
See you next week!

Like the new acronym Stu seems to have come up with … nice … very nice.
So, RWW has been postponed this week due to a certain group member’s absence and just all round poor timing for most of us.
Last week’s wine was good… I really, really don’t know what I am talking about here. However, I now can tell what people mean when they talk about soft wines. I could certainly taste that both of last week’s wines but particularly the first one was very soft and felt very light in your mouth. hmm… I don’t like stuff that makes my mouth feel like it’s burning. These wines didn’t. I could drink either all night, but particularly the first.
How profound!
Oh and I loved the salmon, which was delicious with Sarah’s special dip… perhaps she might post the recipe here……..
Another successful evening… here’s to the next!
