Last night we had a wine tasting evening. This was organised by our 5 star chef Kim. He ordered in a bunch of wines on the last ship and set up this evening where we could all try them all along with some fantastic food.
Spaggers had to slip his own favourite 'wine’, Ricadonna in as he has been trying to convince everyone that it is the best wine available. Perhaps he was hoping he could recreate the 1976 Judgment of Paris and gain some recognition for his loved Ricadonna.
The list of wines Kim had ordered was vast. It consisted of the following:
The Ned Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand.
Mc Henry Hohnen Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc 07, Margaret River WA
Crabtree Riesling, Clare Valley, SA
Jones Road Chardonnay, 06, Mornington Peninsular Victoria.
Narkoojee Lily Grace Chardonnay, 08 Gippsland Victoria.
Charles Melton, Rose of Virginia, Rose 2009 Barossa Valley SA
Cigale GSM ( Grenache shiraz mouvedre ) 07 Barossa
Balnaves Cabernet Sauvignon Coonawarra, 07
Penna Lane Cabernet Sauvignon Clare valley, SA
Bent Creek Mc Larenvale Shiraz 06
Taitiarra Shiraz 08 Heathcote Vic
Warrabilla Durif, 08, Rutherglen NSW/Vic border region
Kim gave a speech about each wine and explained how the different areas provided different flavoured wines.
Needles to say we had some great food to go with the tasting. Mains consisted of filet mignon with prawn skewers accompanied with a duck side salad. This was followed by summer pudding for desert.
It was a great night and as you can imagine everybody was slightly tipsy after all that wine.
