“WE are keen to show our new wines such as; Albarino, Picpoul de Pinet, Chateau Bauduc Blanc 2009, Mark Haisma Bourgogne Rouge and Emma Serjeant Bourgogne Blanc to name but a few”. Those are the treats that await guests of the FromVineyardsDirect next wine tasting at the Absolute Hotel later this month. Following the success of the From Vineyards Direct wine tasting in July at the Hunt Museum, Stuart and his crew are set to make a welcome return to the Treaty City where they have joined forces with Donnacha Hurley, GM at the Absolute Hotel to host the second of their wine tasting bonanzas.
Stuart says that “All of these guys hit the nail on the head with regard to price/quality ratio”.
September 22 has been pencilled in and Stuart will bring with him a plethora of vinified delight.
A few old favourites will join some new wines for the tasting session that will showcase the best of wines available direct from source
Again, the “twitterati” will be working feverishly behind the scenes and the final wines will been selected to adorn the venue of the stylish hotel.
As the tail end of the Summer sizzles out, guests will get to try the house white wine from Gordon Ramsay’s that is set to surprise and delight many at under €11 a bottle.
A stunning viognier and an equally surprising gewurztraminer from Domaine Jean Paul Schmitt will be part of the 20 plus wines on show. From the Italian vines, a soave and a surprise roero will also showcase.
The array of “beauties” to sample will also include Commanderie Mazeyres 2001 from Pomerol or some for the rose table where guests can go from Bordeaux through Navarra, Gascony, The Oc and all the way to Provence while scenes from the River Abbey float by.
