Wine Tasting
Mar. 14th, 2005 10:36 am“Now Ben is the sommelier at the most expensive restaurant in Wellington, the Silver Fox and he’s agreed to open up his cellar for you today. They’re closed on Mondays.”
Eric is talking non-stop, a sort of nervous chatter. I’m not sure if he’s worried about me impressing his friend or the other way around. I’m just grateful that this Ben person has agreed to give me some pointers on wine tasting, since I know next to nothing about it. Aunt June is pressing ahead with her plans and the sheep are already gone. She has her workers plowing her fields and running trellises for the vines. She and I have been arguing about what type of grapes plant and hopefully the lessons today will help me make up my mind.
( “He travels all over the world, doing tastings and buying vintages. He just got back from South Africa.” )
