The Haas wine club is in full swing, with an event every week at the moment! This time around it was red wine, with Kirstin from the local Solano Cellars wine shop bringing in four cheeky bottles for us to try.
Part-way through the third glass I had the revelation that I'm not cut out to be a wine taster. While smells and flavours like 'maple bacon', 'grilled buffalo heart', and 'red cherries' were being bandied about, whenever I stuck my nose in a glass I was getting grapes and alcohol. And an overarching smell of wine.
I contented myself with knowing what I like (wine, in general), knocked back what was left, and held out my glass for the next pouring.
Our wine club officers (i.e. they get to keep what's left at the end) set up.
Here's what we came for!
Kirstin talks us through what we should be smelling. Not sure what that cup of coke is doing there...
They just never pour enough.
In summary: tasty.
