WINE REVIEW

POUILLY FUME

An iconic wine like a Pouilly Fume (Pronounced Poo-hee Foo-may) can be judiciously dissected by a very few people on this planet and I  do not happen to be one of those! But this is an honest attempt to describe how this 2004 vintage wine tasted when I opened the bottle recently.

The bitter economics of Sweet Wines
Given that Sauternes is widely regarded as the world's greatest sweet-wine-producing region, the 2011s should be easy to sell. Not quite. Sweet wine is out of fashion.

SHOWCASE               
Coral ISLAND


 A straightforward shot- it would leave you wanting to explore more....only to heighten the pursuit..

Ingredients

60 ml Bacardi Limon
a dash (approx 1 ml) Blue Curacao
a dash of Angostura bitters


Preparation

Pour the Bacardi Limon in a shot glass and chill in the freezer for 45 minutes. Add the Curacao after removing from freezer- the Curacao will sink to the bottom. Add the Angostura bitters that will form a floating layer. Serve & urge your guests to savour each layer.

Wine & Spirits! Two different worlds- yet the overlap between these two is larger than common perception. Simply put, Wine is the mother of Spirits because all Spirits are distilled from fermented mashes or juices- be it Grapes, Grains, Molasses, Roots and the like, which are all technically Wines. Examples are- Brandy distilled from fermented Grape Juice and Whisky or Vodka distilled from fermented Grain Mash.

Notwithstanding the Tech Speak, the fact remains that both these entities have inbuilt complexities that continue to challenge the most accomplished of palates and spring surprises in the form of different flavours for those who are audacious enough to think out of the box.

It is with this spirit (literally) that  for starters I have created this website, to share som facts and innovations pertaining to the world of Alcoholic Beverages with all aficionados who are raring to venture further with their passionate quest!

My passion for these versatile flavours manifests in the form of specially created Cocktails with poetic descriptions  and some serious analysis of Wines that I have the pleasure of tasting from time to time.

Welcome aboard & Cheers!
