Tasting Ahoy

After what seems like far too long we're finally to do some tasting tonight at work.

I say 'finally' as I'd gotten so used to the rounds of sample bottles and 'wine release' shindigs in Auckland, that 2 months of self funded (mostly) drinking and tasting was beginning to seem like an arid desert of one-dimensional, over-oaked Chardonnay. The trips out to the local vineyards of the Hawke's Bay have provided some welcome respite but unfortunately my palate has been badly affected by Hayfever this year and for that reason (and perhaps others) those tasting visits haven't resulted in much note-taking.

And there was a post of many hyphens......
