Had a lovely day at a 'Wine Unearthed' Event in Manchester UK - 'New World' wine tasting

We tasted 7 whites in the morning - the last two 'blind' - and 7 reds in the afternoon - again with the last two blind.
Not brave enough to include notes and these were modestly priced wines anyway
Fav white for me Bonterra Vineyards Chardonnay 2005 California
Nose - floral, apple, grass - Palate slight oak, smokey, creamy, buttery
Fav Red Penfolds Bin 128 Shiraz 2005 Coonawarra South Australia
Nose spice with lots of fruit - Palate dark berry or cherry, spice, full mouth feel, high tannins & long finish
Cheers, Dave C
