Time for tastings

In the last week I’ve stepped back from full time employment to concentrate on finding a role in wine tasting and education. This is the part of my recent and previous roles that have given me ‘the little buzz’. Still to do so during a recession – is that not a little mad?

Only time will tell; but a pleasant side effect is having the time to attend wine tastings again. Of late my wines have tended to be solely Pinot noir and Riesling – a consequence of working with dedicated specialist. So when a friend invited me to a Rhone tasting, I jumped at the chance.

The 2008 vintage is not reputed to be as exciting as the previous years in the Rhone, but in this day and age one must be careful of judging the wine before it has been tasted……
