In praise of roadshow booths


Last week a net based wine retailer had a roadshow booth in the shopping centre where I live, and I found that they carried some very interesting wines indeed. I had also previously blogged that I bought some very interesting wine in some temporary booths in a shopping mall in Chaing Mai, such as a dry Lambrusco di Sorbara and a Feteasca Neagra from Dealul Mare in Romania. So I have a soft spot for the better temporary booths selling wines in malls.

Back to this one last week, two wines caught my attention immediately, the von Hovel Scharzhofberg I had already blogged about, as well as the Champagne Moutard Cuvee de 6 Cepages that I tried a year ago and blogged about a little while afterwards. This latter is a unique wine in that it must be the only champagne in the world containing all the six grapes allowed in Champagne, Not bad for a temporary booth in a shopping centre in a strictly residential district, eh?
