Its Spring Break! Yay!! So far, this term’s course load has been significantly more intense over last term. Projects have been large and involved and each one included a verbal presentation in from of the class and in one case, before an actual client. Mid-term exams have been completed and a couple have been exceptionally challenging. Hopefully the poor performance on one exam is balanced with the rest of the work so i can maintain my 4.0 GPA.
Along side this challenging schoolwork comes the unfortunate crashing of my computer. Although i DO have backups of all my significant files, some of the instances are a little out of date with the ones that were lost. Sadly, this includes my wine diary. The last entry that made it to this blog’s backup was the previous one I posted. Everything since then – some 17 exceptional bottles of vinos’ notes lost. =[ What I did salvage from hand-written notes a scrap of napkin in my desk drawer was this note on:
Konzelmann Unoaked Chardonnay 2008: Pineapple, tropical fruit and apple feel decently crisp. The mouth-feel is well-textured and smooth. The finish is light with white peach flavours and a solid citrus acidity. I didn’t make note of what we paired with it, but i can certainly see this beside a cajun-style blackened fish.
So this finishes my current collection of tasting notes. No more Ontario vino for a while, sadly. I’m not sure when i’ll have a chance to compose another entry, so do follow me on Twitter @thevinoboy. I hope to get some ‘on-the-road’ tasting notes posted there as i’m sipping. Should a bottle of note happen my way and i have a moment to write something more official up here, do come back and have a read.
Now, its a week off and a trip to Hawaii for nothing but R&R.
Cheers,
