If you haven’t had a chance to try Oban whisky (which by the way happens to be one of my favorites), you are probably wondering what it tastes like. Well, if you do, this video will give you quite a precise idea.

P.S.: I was hugely relieved Nick Offerman did not do anything to that cow…

Past year in wine

Follow the link for a little trip down the memory lane of the wines I tasted and enjoyed in the past year:

TASTING NOTE: Pale ruby in colour, dominating red fruit aromas (sour cherry, red currant), soft tannins, very delicate wine. It paired excellently with a summer style rack of lamb, bak choi and sweet potato mash. If you pair it with cheese, avoid sweet components like chutney – it overpowers the palate and rather neutralises the wine.

There were many highlights among them but the clear winner was the 2008 Pirinoa Road, a Pinot Noir from Martinborough, New Zealand. No surprise I had to buy a full case of it! It is unfortunately sold out but 2010 vintage (very good, but not as special as 2008) is available through Antipodean Sommelier (http://www.taswines.co.uk)
