Wine tasting with Riana

Written by Lesley Cox on Wed, Sep 2, 2009

All the way from Ireland – Charlie is bravely travelling with three ladies, June (his wife), Valerie and Heather. Early Friday evening and the weather is tantalising us that spring is only around the corner. In a couple of days they will be returning to the beginning of autumn in Ireland so tasting outside is a must!

A number of students are enjoying the wine. One has brought his guitar furnishing us a background melody to the perfect setting.

Our host Riana has a broad selection of Seidelberg wines on offer. Heather and Valerie only like white wines, while Charlie and June prefer red. Charlie quickly identifies that Riana has a wealth of knowledge and soon the questions are flowing as fast as the wine.

Favourites are the Seidelberg Sauvignon 2008 and Seidelberg Pinotage. I wish them a safe journey home to Ireland.
