Tickle Your Tastebuds - Mainz - 30th Oct. 18.00

2010-10-28T10:38:00.001+02:00

This seminar (the English) is designed to introduce you to the fascinating world of wine. Learn how to taste and evaluate wines in a fun environment.

Over 2,5 hours, we will taste around 6 different wines (sparkling, white and red) from different regions. Discover a dazzling array of aromas in your glass, why each wine is different and what is special about the origin of the wine.

During the event we will have light anti-pasta style food. Fresh bread and water will be available to neutralise our taste buds.

The event is educational but fun. I have been running these events in Düsseldorf for many years working with some of the top wine bars and stores and have hosted events for corporate entertainment, expats, hen nights etc. I have wine qualifications from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust in London and have been working for an international wine company since moving to Mainz in 2009.

Location is in Mainz old town - Weinhaus Horn on Augustinerstr. It is really easy to get to from Wiesbaden or Frankfurt. I can send you the public transport links if you need them!

Price is €35,00 per person. The price includes all wines, food and water. Tickets must be purchased in advance via PayPal or bank transfer. It is essential that you book in advance because I must pre-book catering etc. I can accept cash payment in advance too if you email me to arrange a time!

Looking forward to meeting you!

€4,99 wine of the week

2010-10-19T20:50:00.002+02:00

I picked up a bottle of VILLA ORSINI Chianti Reserva DOCG 2006 in Real this week.
Price - €4,99

So what is a Chianti?
The wine is a red blend from Tuscany which lies in the north-western part of Italy. The area was first declared a quality area for wines in 1716. Today's regulations state that a minimum of 80% sangiovese must be in the blend. Up to 20% of juice from other red grapes including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah as well as the traditional varietals such as Canaiolo, Mammolo and Marzemino.

So I have now poured a glass and am looking at a deep purpley-red colour which when swirled leaves colourless legs on the sides of the glass.

Back label say "great depth of dark chocolate and black cherry. Two years of oak ageing and further bottle ageing add complex aroma and refined finish."

For me the wine has an almost metallic nose, I do get some cherry and chocolate aromas coming through. The wine seems at first sniff to be quite sour, but has good ripe red fruits (again cherries spring to mind). After being open for a couple of hours, the metallic nose disappears.

Swirled around the mouth, I note first that the wine is dry (even though there are telltale signs of higher sugar content). The tannins are firm and are supported by the juicy red fruits. I like it!

I wouldn't drink this by itself - it matches well to a meaty tomatoey dish - Italian food with Italian wine is always a good idea! I like the taste of this with a baked pasta dish, it works wonderfully well with a bolognese sauce stuffed in cannelloni or layered with bechemel sauce and lasagne sheets. Perfect for a chilly Autumn evening.

Enjoy!
