Date November 5, 2008

Although Obama is seen here with a can, he is described as a founding member of the wine and cheese club, that occasionally partake equally (though judiciously) of cocktails, beer and wine.  Here’s to the new President of the United States of America.

Price: $10.99

Description:
This predominantly Hunter Valley blend of Pinot Noir displaysexcellent ‘terroir’ and varietal expression. The colour is quite deep and has a glossy violet rim. Earth and a sweet berry lift is apparent on the nose along with subtle clean mushroom characters, indicative of this variety. Generous fruit weight on the palate is complemented by a good balance between subtle oak flavours and soft tannin structure.

A very easy-drinking wine which is versatile and well suited to a wide range of foods. A good match with most white meats such as pork and chicken. A glass or two would also go nicely with linguini with blue cheese sauce & basil leaves.

Brilliant way to Hide the Beer

Date September 27, 2008

I don’t really like beer, although a Stout now and again hits the spot. So the following pictures are for the beer lovers who like it cold and want to drink in the office but are not allowed to!

Now, if you think, well, where’s the beer? I don’t see it. Look closer, carefully now.

You didn’t see it here!
