Return Of The Blogger

Age, other interests, business, and a whole lot of other reasons have meant that the blog has been empty of anything to do with wine, food or gastronomical pleasures.
I can't promise this reappearance guarantees permanent reports...but it is a start!
The silence did not mean I had stopped eating and drinking...just that I could not be bothered writing much down. Eat, drink...and mind your own business.

Where to start then? How about with a polish Australian? I smiled as I smelled from my new Riedel Riesling glass. A few years ago at a tasting with friends Volker and Robert...the bottles had been covered...Robert had offered up this Aussie. I sniffed and tasted...and guessed the wine. No idea why...but a previous tasting had stayed with me.

Corona has meant less enjoying my refound hobby...Snooker(Google it). What to do with so much time? Start to cook I thought...and I have. Nothing world beating...but good enough for my daughters to insist we would not get take-aways when they visit.

So here we are...first post...and the meal was pasta filled with truffel in a  mushroom sauce.

The first wine:

Grosset Polish Hill 2018
Clare Valley
South Australia
Australia
Very good right now, with potential to develop into something more with another 5-10 years of bottle age. What I love...notes of petrol...white flowers, slate on the nose.
Steely acidity, beautiful balance. I expected a harsher palate but this is already enjoyble. Citrus and pears.
