French Wine Tasting

This week is "la semaine du goût" (the week of taste)
Alliance Francaise KL organised a series of activities about French cuisine....
French wines tasting was one of them.....
with a wine wholesaler--Cave and Cellar

it was on Thursday.....6pm at AFKL....
the French institute where I learn my French....=)
nothing is free in this world....we had to pay RM10 to join the event....



3 types of wine were served...
supposed to be 4...but they cancelled one....
yes....u guess it...the most expensive one....

everyone was served with some snack to go with the wines....


there were some grapes...
slices of baguette with 2 types of topping: slices of tomato & cheese....onion & grated cheese....

started with the
Côtes de Provence Rose AOC


the pinkish wine.....
it was light and fresh....fruity... I like it.... =)
hardly find any rosé wine at hypermarkets here...
I had 2 glasses of rosé wine...hehe....
this was drunk half....=)

then served the Beaujolais Villages AOC
the red wine...
*no picture for this*
the colour was red-ruby......
this was light as well.....
it's quite young....not bad.....

the last one.....Médoc AOC


red wine too....but the red was more intense than Beaujolais Villages
it was full-bodied and intensed and not very tart....
I don't like the wines that are very acidic.....
this was quite good as well.....=)

I'm not any wine expert.....couldn't taste the specific flavor of the wines....
just my personal preference...
my favourite one was still the pinkish wine....=)
looked at the price......RM56.....
not very expensive.....
so I bought one bottle.....hehe.....

the wine tasting ended at 8pm.....

after that......went to The Mist for YeongJian's birthday.....
ended my night/morning at 3am.....
exhausted...... (+_+)
luckily I had no class on the next day.....
