Tonight was a good evening though we didn’t really talk about the wine… So here is my reflection…
First of all the blue vein goat’s cheese was a highlight. Warming to blue cheese at the moment, I did enjoy this one. Early on I did notice that it made my tongue go somewhat… numb for a better word… and people just kind of looked at me and smiled politely. However, as the evening progressed more people did admit to also sharing the numb sensation! It was great though. Very crumbly and quite a different taste to a standard blue. Good choice guys.
There were three wines on offer this evening. I only sampled two as I had two glasses of the second bottle!
The first was quite strong – though didn’t have that yucky burning feeling that lots of red wine has. It had strong flavours and almost a rough but not burning feeling in your mouth. This was Darren’s favourite.
The second was my favourite. It was really soft – almost like you had nothing in your mouth. The smell was really really strong and I didn’t initially like it (the smell not the taste). It smelled very strong and rich – but didn’t taste at all how it smelled.
A very profound round up of this evening’s tastes… as always … from Toni
