TasteVin Wine Bar & Bistro, San Carlos

What an adorable venue for an intimate get together with friends! http://www.tastevinandcheese.com/

We each ordered our own flights:

I had the “Bubbly”

And Michael had the “Decadent White”.

We also ordered “Crisp White Wine Cheese Plate” to complement our flights.

The wines are presented beautifully and the cheeses tasted exceptionally fresh and delicious. The services was courteous and exceptional.

We are planning to try everything on the menu!

Bordeaux: The Art of Blending Wines

Ahhhhh, Bordeaux, heavenly juice!!!! We signed up at the College of San Mateo Community Education class and got to learn all about Bordeaux!

We wanted to learn and explore the complexity of the wines produced from the Left Bank of the Gironde River to the harmonious wines of the Right Bank.

Getting ready to taste some great wines and learning about different types of corks

Seriously taking notes and the best part, pouring!!!

Cheers!!

We can now call ourselves savvy connoisseurs of Bordeaux wines!
