I could squeeze many more tastings in the second half of June but other things need to be tended to.
I regret having missed the Albarino Tasting (from Rias Baixas) on June 9…the call of duty came in the way.
After going through my may be list, I just did an edit and decided that only the Jura Wines event on June 15 as last year's event was a revelation of sorts for me with Jura's distinctive grapes, Poulsard, Trousseau, let's not forget Vin Jaune and Vin de Paille or Cremant if you care for bubbly and their authenticity.
A week later a small Madeira seminar and tasting on June 22 also makes the cut because I pledge almost ignorance on Madeira so time to get an education…
With only 40 Madeiras at this walk around tasting, I should be able to take in the nuances.
How many favorites will come out of these two days, we shall see.
