This happened at the Convention Centre on Tuesday to Thursday of last week. As a trade only exhibition, I can only try and wangle or borrow an admission badge for entry, the latter of which I did. However, I had a busy week at work and was scheduled to be on call one day, so I only had two very short sessions after work to go around the exhibition - perhaps a total of 3 hours in all! Nevertheless I got to try the Burgundy grape Cesar, and thought I tasted another two new grapes, but Tintilla de Rota turned out to be Graciano, and the Muscat Oliver from Zurich was how the Swiss calls Irsai Oliver from Hungary.
I also went to 3 wine dinners and another tasting last week. The latter was the Taylors tasting of old ports, already previously mentioned. The last wine dinner also featured fortified wines - 3 sherries from the Gonzalez Byass portfolio, which now includes table wines and even Cava.
