Wine Diary

To balance the frenetic pace of Hong Kong, there will undoubtedly be more consumption of vin rouge while I am here. I have been drinking for a while, but have not given the time to take note and journal the wines that cross my palette. With the onset of old age, the names and years of vintages have been forgotten from my memory, so this is my attempt for each post to remind me of the look, smell, taste and fragrance of each drop.

I am going to avoid providing pompous tasting notes and keeping it simple to a rating out of 4. This is Trent's 4 macaroon scale for wine.
