I had already blogged about the acquisition of another barrel of Hospice wine by the Wine Society, and of tasting it at the recent KCCWS AGM. I was strolling around the Club the other day when I chanced upon a wine barrel, which on closer inspection turned out to be that for the Cuvee Maurice Drouhin . Making enquiries, it was ascertained that the people who bought the contents of the barrel also acquired the barrel, and had it shipped to Hong Kong. I think they planned to get it dressed up and placed somewhere (probably in the Pavilion) to increase the visibility of the Wine Society in the Club. As such, I left the barrel to undergo refurbishment. It is not everyday one gets to meet the barrel of which contents you had recently tasted.
PS. For tasting a Sauternes out of a barrel, please refer to this entry from my visit to Bordeaux last May).
