Newcastle Spring Wine Fair
Had a good night yesterday at the wine fair, went with Paul and Brian from work and made my way through 37 of the 42 wines on offer.
Best White was a tie between the Blind River 2007 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc (Oddbins) and the Vesevo 2007 Greco di Tufo (Liberty Wines).
Best Red was Peter Lehmanns "The Mudflat" 2003 Shiraz/Muscadelle (Oddbins).
Oddbins and Liberty Wines were neck and neck for the best selection on the night, I think Oddbins just shaved it.
Hopefully some pictures to follow, and likely a Greybeard piece on Reign of Terroir as well.
However we didn't need to stay out after the fair, but we did anyway and a few pints later and I ended up on Paul's sofa. Luckily I have the rest of the week off for a full recovery (Paul was not as lucky, he had to go into work today and he was in a MUCH worse state than I was!).
