We were blessed once again with fine weather for our summer tasting last week which was held in the Crofter’s restaurant at Trelissick gardens overlooking the pretty courtyard. A lively party of 50 or so guests enjoyed delicious canapes and a selection of summery wines.
Andrew Hay from Gireau was also on hand to show off his premium Spirit range - the hauntingly aromatic Gireau Premium French Gin seemed to go down particularly well
Of the white wines, once again the two Verdejo – Hinojal and Chamelin were really popular as, more surprisingly, the dry (but not aggressively so) Villa Wolf Riesling. In the rosé section the heathery dry Domaine Piqueroque from Provence went down well and of the reds (France again dominating) the Plan de Dieu, Couranconne and a 2010 Beaujolais Villages
Our next tasting is a private affair for St Ives Rotarians and then it’s full steam ahead for the busy Autumn season – where does the time go?
