Glancing Back: Sept 2013, MacVine, Aromatics

2015-06-17-5580e272d2fbcAn awful night weather wise which was something of a shame as the attendance was not as good as your committee had hoped. Despite this it was an interesting night with some really good wines, much enjoyed by those who attended. David Hughes was an informative and interesting presenter and he thoroughly enjoyed the evening despite the low attendance.

As intended, the evening concentrated on aromatics including:

  • 2011 Clark Estate Sauvignon Blanc
  • 2012 Forrest Chenin Blanc
  • 2011 Alpha Zeta Pinot Grigio
  • 2012 Forrest Pinot Gris
  • 2012 West Brook Gewurztraminer
  • 2011 Kerpen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett
  • 2011 Clark Estate Noble Pinot Gris

MacVine tasting notes & order form

2015-06-17-5580e272d2fbcHi everyone, as you know Wednesday the 11th September was a horrible night weather wise.

However, those of us who braved the elements and attended the meeting were treated to some great white aromatics. In view of the low turnout, we offered to send out the Macvine tasting notes and order form to all members so you would have an opportunity to purchase the wines presented.

If you wish to order them, then you need to complete the last page and get it to David at david@macvine.co.nz before the close-of business this week.

Regards

Wayne Kennedy
Treasurer

Looking Forward: Aug 2013
