The Date and Time:
The Event: Hobbs & Co Portfolio Tasting
The Venue:
The Target Audience: wine trade
The Availability/Catalogue: all wines are available through consignment, private order, Vintages, etc. The catalogue had detailed tasting notes, variety information, and prices.
The Quote/Background: Anna Hobbs told me, "I made this terrine." It had a good solid yummy taste and consistency. It went very well with the sample of Chateau Lyonnat 1970 Lussac Saint-Emilion [en magnum, no longer available anywhere}, the treat for the day.
The Wines: I did not taste every wine. Prices are retail.
