The Wine-Knows met again on Saturday afternoon - just 8 of us this time as some are still vacationing - but it was a jolly time and I had to be careful with the wine consumption as there was more to go around. Five interesting wines, 1 white, 1 rosee and three reds. My favourite was one of the reds and it also happened to be the one that scored the most points. We judge the wines on appearance, aroma and taste and that one had a very distinctive bouquet. There were also lots of nibblies so I didn't need dinner when I got home, just a late night snack. The meeting was at one of the member's condo which was on the 17th floor with a spectacular view of the city. I wouldn't mind living there!
Still desperately trying to stay ahead of the tomato crop. The cherry and grape tomatoes are still going strong and the heirloom tomatoes are beginning to produce large specimens. I've had three already (they are a meal unto themselves) and there are still several at the green stage. I'm sure they will ripen before too long. So every meal has to contain tomatoes in some form. Tonight it's chicken parmigiana with eggplant casserole and corn kernels.
Sounds as if you had a great time tasting those wines. Not a fan of red, so you can have mine.
ReplyDelete17 floors.... no not for me, no matter how spectacular the view.
This must be an excellent year for tomatoes, as I have heard people talking about having so many on their plants.
I am having to freeze lots. Our next Wine-Knows meeting isn't until November but I will be trying some of the wines we tasted in the meantime.
ReplyDeleteThe wine tasting sounds interesting. What was the name of the wine you all liked?
ReplyDeleteI have made two batches of salsa, eaten loads, have the things to make chili sauce tomorrow, and frozen tomatoes as well. I may try canning some eventually.
God bless.
It was actually a Canadian wine by Sandbanks winery, called Baco. I froze some tomatoes yesterday and have to do another harvesting tomorrow as some are splitting and/or falling off the vine.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I will look for that red wine here in Saskatchewan.
