I will have the privilege next week of commentating two spectacular tastings at the glamorous Palais Coburg Wine Open. I shall lead the “Precious White Wine of Austria and France” on November 5th which is described in the previous blog entry as well as the “USA Select” on November 4th. I am incredibly excited. I have had the chance to taste nearly all of these wines in the past, buy but have not been able to compare them in this combination.
