Codename: Purplewhite: Wine Appreciation

This is cool! 1st time i joined a wine appreciation activity. Haha started off at 6pm like that, from my dept only me, Zai liang and Mary. Also met Germaine there, fren from another dept.The speaker very cute , a lot of actions when he talked . So we started with wine tasting before any boring theory.

All trying to pay attention..but all eager to try the wine. Yah i luv white one =D

All had a glass of Chardonnay. And this is my fav white wine for the day. Sweet light taste.

Haha i just checked my mini white collection at home...got this type also..same type of grape one.
======>>
Nice wine glass to drink from.

The speaker said that this type of grape is easier to grow and make white.. so if u want to try making...erm..plant this lor =D

2nd drink of the evening is also another white wine. BUT...basically i dun like this one. From the moment the pouring started...it doesn't smell the type i like...then taste liao...erm..yah........ ..dun like ....

We were each also given a plastic some cup, to keep the wine first so that we can do comparison of taste / color later. Erm.....Germaine say she want keep this one. For me, i donated to the steel bin..show u later...

Next up is Red white time! 1st Merlot red white. Not expensive but nice one. A lot of the tasters said "Good!"

Sunrise Merlot got that kind of red wine taste that i like. But then, i kept it first.Thought that if i drink it all, then maybe can't drink anymore others. White + Red for me == Blur !!
So my turn to keep it in the small plastic cup. While in the end i managed to drink it all =D

Took this pic thru the wine glass. Artistic right?? -->

So we all had 2 glasses only. 1 crystal wine glass and 1 plastic cup. So where do the " un-drank " wine? After the swirlling and smelling...... plus washing of the glasses with water. All "extra" liquid is here.

So at this moment, we have tried 3 types liao. The 4th one was a power one. Once open can smell the alcohol le....i was like...waa this one power! But then again... the after taste in the mouth like bland.... but maybe i have drank too much till i blanded my tastes le.. PLUS i was HUNGRY...havent eat dinner leh....

<<<>

And i remember by the time we were at this wine, quite not attentive liao. we were busy talking and drinking. And because the speaker got a bit of ang moh slang, I wasn't hearing anything English liao. Can't seem to understand what he was saying......haha or was i drunk ??

Heheh the next one was GREAT. My fav for the nite. One sip and I was fascinated liao...cos this is the type i like lor.. Typical Australian red wine taste..Another type of Merlot wine.

Really like this..so when the session ended. I took an extra 1/2 glass before i left. Can't resist heheeheh.

Last wine for the day is dessert wine. Some real skinny bottle...

So thats all for the wine tasting. Can't imagine i really 'hiong hiong' try 6 types..haha break record liao. Never had i tried so many types in 1 single drinking session.

And Mary was very red....good blood circulation =D
