Tasting at the BF Homestead for US Sommeliers
January 19th, 2012 | Author: Jessica
Yesterday, we hosted a group of four US guests for a tasting at the Homestead. Below are their details. We enjoyed their positive reactions to our wines and specifically to the following wines:
The most liked were the Tete de Cuvee 2010 (the next vintage to be released), which was tasted alongside the 2009 vintage and the Galpin Peak 2010 was equally embraced. The Blanc de Mer 2011 and the Kaaimansgat Chardonnay, which was Editor’s Choice and receieved 91/100 points in the Wine Enthusiast last year for the Kaaimansgat Limited Edition Chardonnay 2009, was equaled with the 2010 current vintage of Kaaimansgat/ Crocodile\’s lair as the tasters revealed their contented grimaces after a few sips of this wine.
Below is some information on the guests.
“Bouche Formidable” at Sundays spectacular Lunch at Bouchard Finlayson

…How does this sound?
Melodies from sax, laughter, clinging glasses, cutlery “kchinking”, poetic utterings on Pinots sensual pleasures and then for the olfactory sensations the aromas of smoked tuna, spiced black urid lentils, sprigs of coriander teasing the nostrils – on the stove the next dishes aroma fills the kitchen with smells of wild mushrooms, cooking risotto, roasted veal rump (with gremolata).
Yes this is what Bouchard Finlaysons Sunday consisted of for those lucky few that were invited and appeared to dine at the magnificent Homestead with our winemaker Peter Finlayson and well-known magical Chef Peter Goff Wood!
