July's Assignments are posted!!!!! (over there on the right).
If you haven't finished the June assignment, don't fret -- skip June and move on to July or skip July and work on June -- if you're feeling particularly thirsty..... do both, it's a long month.
You'll notice that the July assignment was suggested by Sarah, so if you have a suggestion for a future assignment -- please feel free.
Cheers!
Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteI like the extra cradit assignment too.
Head up to those of you that aren't familiar with South African wines. They make great Sav. Blancs and Pinotage is a red that is tasty.
Are you kidding? We ran right out and got our July assignment and extra credit assignment (and a few other things)!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try both!
When I can drink again I will definitely try a South African wine. Looking forward to it....
ReplyDeleteIn my quest to try every single grape in the world in wine form, I happened on a bottle of Xinomavro from Greece. It's too bad, but it turned ouf it was too old and could not be consumed (yes it was that bad)... so I think I will try a Pinotage tonight and tell you about it soon.
ReplyDeleteIn honour of the July assignment I had a bottle of George Kinross Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot from Paarl in South Africa.
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit gasoline-like at first, but opened up nicely to give some plummy flavours.
It had a very strange bottle, in that it showed the tasting notes on the front and the blend of grapes and region on the back.
I sampled a pinotage last night and found something unexpected, and perhaps unwanted, it's reviewed in today's post on www.interwined.com...
ReplyDeletethe 2005 Graham Beck is widely available in the states, isn't it?
