WineX 20080910

September is a gem for wine shows and festivals and the RMB WineX was no exception.
M attended on the Wednesday evening. It was great, not a lot of people and the organisers must be congratulated on the professional exhibit they organised.
I bumped into David from Overgaauw and tasted their 2008 Sauvignon Blanc - absolutely superb! Can't wait for Monday evening when we will be having the 2007 at dinner at Lovane.
Our good friend, Schalk Opperman suggested I stick to the whites for the evening. A first for me, but definitely a good recommendation if one wants to experience the whites on their own. Pity I couldn't go another evening to drink the reds.
Other highlights were the FMC (Forrester, Meinert Chenin), Jordan Chardonnay (both the Nine Yards - reserve, and Jordan superb), the Asara Sauvignon Blanc and off course, Krohne Rose*. I'm such a sucker for a pink bubbly!
*Don't miss the Summer Elegance party on 13 December at Twee Jonge Gezellen (The House of Krohne).
