Williams Seylem Tasting

Saturday. June 24, 2017

Had been looking forward to this tasting for months.  Hosted by CJ. A very select group of people invited.  The winery itself donated a few bottles,  loads of pinot glass with their logo engraved on the and gobs of logo napkins. 

Good selection of foods but I stayed with the cheeses and crackers.  For myself if I am doing a tasting I am not too inclined to eat dinner.  I nosh my through the evening.

All the wines were excellent. Three really stood out for me. The 2009 Ferrington Vineyard, the 2001 Vista Verde vineyard from the magnum bottle and the 2007 Weir vineyard.
