Wine Tasting No. 1

Lou, media maverick and noble Bellini friend, sent me a link to his favorite Prosecco, made by the Bisol family, and through their website, http://www.bisol.it/default_eng.asp, I found out about the Bibendum Annual Tasting 2010. Just in time! My education begins… Bibendum is a ‘fine wine merchant,’ to put it mildly, here in London.



The Annual Tasting 2010 is next week, Wednesday, January 20th, at the Saatchi Gallery on the King’s Road, from 9:30 a.m. until 7p.m..

On the Bibendum website it says to eat a big breakfast that morning, or in their words, ‘have a breakfast of champions…tasting is tough work.’ I didn’t think you were supposed to swallow! But maybe it’s different in London…we’ll find out.

Dear Edith, Lou’s wife, has graciously agreed to join me for the hard work that day, in search of the best prosecco for our Bellinis. Hopefully there will be at least a few producers represented, from which to compare and contrast, or in our case, to sniff and sip.
