It was a full turn-out at our first wine tasting course on Wednesday (10th Jan) evening at the stunning Culinary Arts Studio (CAS - see above photos) at Brighton University's Darley Road, Eastbourne campus. This was the first module in our 4-module The Basics course and also the single module Introductory course. It was great to see so many people there. The ambitious outline for the course certainly proved to be so - my mouth got the better of me and we over-ran by some 50%! But I hope that after 3 hours and 4 wines tasted it was a good outcome - certainly everyone who attended said they had enjoyed it and learned something. I look forward to the rest of the modules - and with better time-keeping on my part they may even finish nearer the scheduled time of 9pm rather than 10pm!!
The four wines tasted in Module 1 were:
- Sancerre 2005, Crochet (Loire, France)
- Macon-Fuisse 2004, Jaffelin (Burgundy, France)
- Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2004 (and 2005) (Burgundy, France)
- Cabernet Sauvignon 2003, Les Jamelles (Languedoc, France)
