Raise a glass

Sometimes you do things because you really want to & sometimes you do them because they’re for a good cause.  I’ll let you decide which reason we chose to participate in my office’s charity wine tasting last week.

A Master of Wine was brought in to host the evening (by the way, Master of Wine is a much cooler profession than accountant).


The evening began with a short presentation on types of wine and different grapes and brief instructions on the approach to tasting and identifying flavours.


After which, we got down to the important things of the evening.  Drinking.  I mean, giving to charity.










With each wine, we were asked a series of questions to test our knowledge of wine (and listening skills from earlier in the evening).  My table managed a 9 out of 31.  Apparently we need more practice.
