The Wine Challenge continues with the first round of 2005 being held at Methinee’s last Saturday, a Thai food night, well done Methinee! It was a great steamboat and I thought the fishcakes were great.
Preliminary drinks were Grant Burge and Blue Pyrenees sparkling wines, both of which were very nice. Methinee provided a Tempus 2 botrytis and Rob brought one of my favourites, a Tokay, to have after dinner.
The whites proved to be the most challenging in terms of scoring with a range of 3.0 – 5.4. With the McWilliam’s Mount Pleasant causing the greatest difficult with an average score of only 3 correct answers. While the reds were much closer spread of only 0.2.
NV Grant Burge 87 Points
