What kind of cheeses?
I had a lovely bit of Gruyère there a couple of weeks back that’s sent me on a bit of a spree. Tis very hard to hold onto a cheese.
Just having a chilled glass of this. There’s a real immediacy to it at the end of each sip.

Just finished week one of my wine course.
Was excellent. 60 minutes of info then 30 minutes tasting.
Tonight was a German Riesling. I made a goats cheese, walnut and peach salad to accompany it.

Will they do a Spanish Rioja next week?

If you’d been on the course you’d understand there is also Clare Valley and Alsatian Riesling that are often drier.
Rioja is a region in Spain rather than a grape

He’s swung and missed badly there.
We need to educate, not admonish.

What will you ate with that?
I’m making calamari but will have that earlier for dinner with the kids and I’ll have a kinnegar.
The lady who does the wine course said to get some different cheeses, salami and olives as snacks to have when tasting.
The one tonight is a free one on Instagram for half an hour. They tell you in advance wines to order.
You’d learn a bit - she said for decent white wine to take it out of fridge about an hour before you drink it assuming it’s not silly hot weather

They grow Carmenere in Friuli as well.

Chilean wines tend to have high alcohol content.
Yerra lookit, we all have to start somewhere. We can’t all be in The Wine Society from day one.
