RWW

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!

 

The inaugural meeting…

Well… our first meeting has been and gone…  how reflective…

So… all in attendance… Toni, Darren, Stu, Sarah and Holly.  Congratulations to Paula and Kevin on their new house… see you next week!

So…  What did I think?  Darren has a post of the official * rating…  But my response:

I am really new to this whole red wine game… but I thought that they were ok… I couldn’t really tell the difference – except my teeth felt funny after the second one.

I liked the food.  Although, I think we needed a piece of good blue cheese to go with it.

It seems that more than anything else, Red Wine Wednesday might be an excellent meeting for planning future wine drinking occassions…

Current suggestions… A weekend at Taupo – Scenic Cellars and a cool lounge bar.

A  weekend at Ohakune – beginning the day at around 11am with a ‘cheeky little riesling’.

Sounds good to me!

Other ideas that were sidelined — sloshed Saturdays and Tequilla Tuesdays…

 

A Meeting of Minds

A wee while ago, this man, Stu, had a party. At the party, this man, Kev, met this man, Darren, and together, they came up with ‘Red Wine Wednesdays’.

The first Red Wine Wednesday will be hosted by Darren and Toni. They will provide red wine so that all in attendance can pretend they know what they are talking about. They will also provide nibbles to go with the wine… YUM.

The idea is that every week, one couple hosts ‘Red Wine Wednesday’ and provides the wine – for the other couples to talk shit about…

They can then come to this site and summarise their findings of the wine. People can also talk about other wines that they have had lately or restaurants that they have been to.

Basically it is our eternal search to find good wine and food and have an appropriate place to talk about it!
