Austrian Wine Appreciation Workshop

--
On the 19th Oct Wednesday, I attended an Austrian wine appreciation workshop with Ms Poh Q2 / KT and of course my wife. We had a great time there with finger food (chicken wings, Brie and Cambermart cheese). Never knew that the Grassroot’s club near the Yio Chu Kang MRT has such a nice cosy place like the WineRoom (run by Le Raisin) www.le-raisin.com.

The wines we tasted included (www.heuriger.biz) :

Whites
Weiner Gruner Veltliner
Loimer Riesling Langelois
Heinrich Weissburgunder
Heinrich Zweigelt

Reds
Pockl Zweigelt
Skoff Hochsulz Sauvignon

Dessert Wine
Skoff Chardonnay Trockenbeerenauslese


Both Ms Poh Q2 / KT loved the dessert wine the most (each of them bought one - not cheap though!) and I must confess myself that it’s one of the best dessert wines I have ever tasted. Tastes like pure refined Honey intensely flavoured with peaches, oranges and apricotes. However, I felt the reds were good, but lacking somewhat in their finesse and flavoursome that French and Australian wines possess.
