Summer Nights....the beginning of the journey

Last week a group of ladies came together with a common interest in mind...wine tasting.
This was the first gathering and we themed the evening summer nights.

We tasted 7 wines from across South Australia and even one from New Zealand.

The wines we enjoyed...

Bird In hand Sparkling Pinot 2010: Dry style, representative of cool climate fruit flavours

Bird in Hand Sparkling Pinot 2011: Dominant strawberry flavour, popular with any crowd

Coriole Chenin Blanc 2011: Good fruit, peach, apricot, hint of floral, easy drinking wine

Tim Adams Pinot Gris 2011: Great nose, fruit, floral, well balanced, wine of the day in my opinion

Domain Day one Serious Rose: Dry, crisp wine with a crimson dark hue.

Stoneleigh Chardonnay 2010: demonstrated classic oak chardonnay characters, Marlborough region, strong cool climate fruit characters

Chandon Sparkling, Yarra Valley: French style, traditional method, peach and stone fruit characters, well balanced sparkling, great to celebrate any specials occasion

Our top three..........
