More Wine Tastings

We had a couple more wine tastings these last few days, all online of course.

The first one was a set of 8 different wines, hosted by Oracle (a company Bryan works with a lot). The lady guiding us through all 8 wines was in South Africa, so she was up at 1:00 in the morning while Bryan and I had to take time off work at 2:00 in the afternoon to attend. Other attendees were from all across the globe: a very diverse mix of people!

The wines we sampled were quite good, a mix of both reds and whites. The bottles were specially made for the tastings and held just enough for two glasses each. I was tempted to keep the bottles and make something out of them – but that would just turn in to one more project I never get around to.

The second tasting was hosted by La Bodega and featured 3 bubbly wines, 3 white wines, and 3 red wines. They did not have sample bottles, so they let you buy the ones you were interested in without having to buy any you did not want (or could not afford). Bryan got us one red and one white – but we did enjoy listening to the entire tasting event, as the presenters were quite enthusiastic about their wines and had a lot of information to impart.
