I bet I would be excited if my employer were to organize a wine tasting workshop to reward the hard work I put in everyday. Well, Johnson & Johnson did that, and more! No expenses were spared as a stellar cast of magnificent seven from down under was assembled for the night. As the participants marched into the workshop area, they were visibly excited by the impressive selection of wines and the immaculate setup.
What a great night it turned out to be! The participants were fun, expressive and knowledgeable. Laughter occasionally filled the room, along with the wonderful aromas from the wines. Wines were poured and drunk. Knowledge was shared and exchanged.
Kudos to the spontaneous and fantastic crowd as some even stayed to help with the glasses! What more could we ask for. We would have gone on all night if we could!
The following labels were tasted during the workshop:
Henschke Coralinga Sauvignon Blanc 2004
Petaluma Hanlin Hill Riesling 2004
Maxwell Chardonnay 2003
Irvine Eden Crest Merlot 2001
Turkey Flat Shiraz 2002
Pirramimma Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2001
Pirramimma Late Harvest (500ml) Riesling 1999
We had a lot of fun! Big thanks to the great company from J&J!
