Bollinger Champagne were served at registration. I like it as it is rich and flavourful, not too acidic. I ordered 6 bottles.
Paired well with the cold dish and vegetables. I loved the Aligote and ordered 12 bottles.
Liked the wine but a bit pricy.
I was so looking forward to the Cask 23, but it turned out just OK--a bit of let down. While it still showed the characteristic of a California fruit bomb, the fruit is not as strong as I expected. The Cos on the other hand is superb--intense, jammy, and simply delicious. In my opinion, it is the best wine of the tasting. I ordered 12 bottles.
Typical Australian Shiraz.
I don't like sweet wines. Had a sip, can't say much.
An enjoyable evening, I was a bit let down by the speaker. The voice was too low to hear clearly and very little sharing.
