This is going to be my first post of 2014.Sorry for not being very regular these days but then i've started a full time job in Medical Oncology.My first choice was Endocrinology but i'm learning a lot at Oncology dept.Have made some great friends.What an amazing start it has been.Hope the year continues in the same note it started.
I was sent this bottle of wine from Four Seasons.I'm rarely drink except on events.So i didn't have any wine glass with me lolLuckily had a Champange glass from gawd knows where .This was my Christmas Eve meal.I didn't go anywhere (yes,i'm a very boring person)Stayed in and prepared mashed poatoes,Chicken steak and boiled veggies.Home baked fruit cake (a gift)
I thought of doing some mixology of orange juice with the red wine but then got too lazy to go buy the juice :p Type: Still Red WineGrapes:ShirazOrigin: Baramati, Maharashtra, IndiaStyle: Dry
Tasting notes:Colour : Dark ruby red with black cherry hues.Aroma : Crushed raspberries abound, combining with spicy and smoky notes and a subtle hints of violet. Palate : This rich, full-bodied wine has a nice amount of complexity offering fruit and spice on the palate and a pleasant finish with smooth velvety tannins.
Serving suggestion: Enjoyed best at 16 - 18° C with barbequed red meats and game. Its spicy character makes it an ideal accompaniment to Indian cuisine. How Did You Spend Your Christmas 2013?
