Wine Tasting


We are lucky to find a couple who enjoy wines as much as we do. So we decide to have regular meetings to enjoy wines from different countries. This time we tried two wines, Gran Feudo rose 2005 (Spain); and Dona Paula cabernet sauvignon 2004 (Argentina).

The rose had a fantastic fruity nose and was a good wine to start the evening. It was an excellent companion for the strawberries and soft cheeses we had that day. We had left the Dona Paula in the decanter for a good half hour or so and it was surprisingly drinkable for such a young wine. We had tortelloni com molho de funghi that night and the slightly earthy flavour of the wine matched the flavour of the funghi well. Probably worthwhile to keep this wine for another year or so before drinking.
