So. We spent the morning at a coffee tasting<\/a>, and the afternoon at the BRITEs<\/a> (Abel Pharmboy’s<\/a>, not any other).

\nThe wines are provided by The Wine Authorities<\/a>.
\nFirst up<\/strong>: a couple of Chardonnays, from France and California. The French is lighter in colour. PalMD thinks the Californian is closer to a scotch than a wine: too much oak (from the barrel). As with the coffee this morning, I find I don’t have the vocabulary to describe the wines.
