Hey, honey.... it's been awhile!

OOI is getting back on track in 2013 with a sweet tasting hosted by Tanya and Erik at Tamerlane!

Menu:
1-Honey sparkler cocktail
2-Honey tasting (at least 7 or 8)

3-Honey, cheese and charcuterie pairing with a few beer samples (e.g. Maibock, Scotch ale and Belgian Abbey Tripel...not your regular Labatt Blue beer!)
4-A few small plates and wine
5-Dessert and Quebec Mead

Looking forward to seeing you all @ 7pm on Saturday, March 2nd!

Tasting notes - best of the best

“These wines are quite elusive — you grasp and lose, grasp and lose,” he said, adding — ever the Frenchman — “They are like women.” (from NY Times article on 2007 Burgundies)
* eating spicy asian food with complex and spicy alsatian whites has become AXIOMATIC..."
* In short, although motion expressions in tasting notes may be explained as specific instances of the phenomenon referred to as fictive motion, the verbs involved exemplify construal of salience and, accordingly, may be seen as related to metonymy." Cabellero 2007
* This wine caresses the palate, while the aroma percolates through my nose and plucks gently at my memory strings..."
* The flavour is massive, with great texture and density, notes of old library wood and toasted nuts. Rare and elegant. Grab it if you can.

OOI!
