Oyster and Wine Matching @ Dot Cod

我一向甚少參加wine dinner之類的活動
這次則是少數的例外
因為今次的主題是蠔與酒 - 兩者都是我的喜好

大概有四十人參加
如果人數減少一點
相信會更加好
**************************************

Miranda Somerton Brut Reserve NV
十分普通的氣泡酒
青檸皮，西柚肉，餘韻帶苦
沒甚麼特別
西班牙的Cava好得多

Domaine de Grand Maison Muscadet Sevre at Maine 2003
花香及蜂蜜香味撲鼻
酸度很高，當中帶點點青蘋果及柑橘類味道
這瓶Sur Lie果然比一般的Muscadet複雜
可惜的是餘韻帶苦，否則會是一瓶不俗的酒

Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio 2003(?)
唔記得係2002定係2003
這瓶Pinot Grigio十分典型
草青味及青果味顯著
酸度挺高，很一般
可是配起蠔卻挺不俗

Carmen Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2005
番石榴味濃得有點意外
少許貓尿及蜜瓜味
太甜太造作太人工化
如要比喻的話我會想這是一位濃妝艷抹的小女孩
對於某些人會是很吸引的，可惜不包括我

A function pairing oyster and wine, both my favourite!!!

**********************************************

Miranda Somerton Brut Reserve NV
An ordinary sparkling wine with citrus fruit nose and taste, bitter aftertaste.
I prefer Cava from Spain to this common wine.

Domaine de Grand Maison Muscadet Sevre at Maine 2003
Lovely floral and honey nose. Highly acidic with green apple and some citrus fruit taste, this "Sur Lie" is much more complicate than ordinary Muscadet.
Unfortunately, a bit bitter was detected. Otherwise she will be a good wine for daily consumption.

Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio 2003(?)
Cannot recall whether she is 2002 or 2003.
This is a typical Pinot Grigio with grassy and green fruit taste and nose.
Acidity is quite high, just so-so. But pairing oyster is not bad.

Carmen Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2005
The guava nose and taste was so strong that out of my imagination. Also a bit cat pee and melon nose.
This wine is too sweet and too "man-made".
I would say she is a little girl with heavy make-up, which is absolutely favourite of some people, but definitely not my cup of tea.
