London Wine Trade Fair

This week is the London Wine Trade Fair at Excel .... tasted the 2008 Bordeaux vintage ... mixed impressions, but all good. Am also getting to know Russian and Moldovian wines ... the Black Sea is where it all began, remember!!  There was a show-offy, posing young sommelier from some uber-trendy restaurant in London who came up and stood next to me to taste... and he exclaimed "Russian wines? That's new!"    (Tasting notes to come)
