Williams Selyem Wine Tasting

Saturday. November 14, 2018

Small group in a private home for a Williams Seylem wine tasting. It was bring any Williams Selyem wine you want. No other theme

We had a large array of appetizers, I brought fresh Poke and the hosts made salmon for dinner and one guest brought dessert for Cream Pan.  I had never heard of this place before. She shopped at the main store in Tustin and had such a large array of tortes, cheesecakes, etc., All individually wrapped and all extremely good.  I went on line and Cream Pan has outlets in numerous Japanese stores. I definitely will be checking this out. 

I did leave about 9:30 PM but apparently it was still going after midnight. Stan then brought out a bottle of 1997 Chateau St Jean, Cinq Cepages - not a theme but I did get to taste it on Sunday and it was outstanding.

All the wines were what you would expect from Williams Selyem except for a Rocholi Vineyard. Something was very amiss with this bottle.  The most favored was the Precious Mountain Vineyard.
