Just finished a WineFUNdamentals event at the Anaheim Convention Center for one of the largest conventions in the State (CDA -- California Dental Association). Great program, fun wines! Favorite wines of the evening...La Crema Pinot Noir and Trinchero Cabernet Sauvignon - Chicken Ranch. Then off to Downtown Disney for dinner and into Disneyland for staff appreciation! Realized while we were there that the Disney Food and Wine Festival would have been going on ( it was canceled this year due to the restoration of California Adventure) -- Can't wait for it to come back in 2012 -- hoping to be asked to speak again!
Came home with a cold...but off in the morning for a week long United States Sommelier Association certificate course at Wente Vineyards in Livermore -- blind tasting test on Friday, hopefully by then I can breath!
Not being able to breath isn't stopping me though -- enjoying 2009 Crios Torrontes -- it's amazing how much like a Muscat the Torrontes varietal can smell (I know this from tasting this same wine on a normal nose day) -- it's still tastes pretty good even with a cold!
