I had met Korean grape wines some years ago at the Food Expo, but had not been able to dig up the details for a blog entry before. This year, I found a booth with Korean wines again, so this is as good an opportunity as any other to blog about it again. I cannot remember any details from the last encounter, but this time I tasted two wines made from hybrids rather beloved of that part of the world, in this case, Muscat Bailey A and Kyoho. I am sure there were others too, but I had not factored a tasting in and I was rushed for time then, so these two wines will have to do for this sampling of Korean wines.
The white made from both grapes was a golden yellow and dominated on both nose and palate by Kyoho flavours and smells. The red (made from Muscat Bailey A only) was a nice ruby colour with red fruit on both nose and palate.
