Wines of Mendoza - Twitter Taste ... not so Live?
So the folks over at Twitter Taste Live and Wines of Argentina are hosting an entire month of tasty wines. Getting "together" in small groups of oeno-freaks and producers, the aim is to have a small round table discussion online while tasting and promoting the wines via Twitter.
Last night was the Mendoza tasting and I got to take part - the (free) wines arrived on time, I acquired the appropriate cheeses, polished up my glasses, and logged in. Much to the group's chagrin Twitter was having a massive failure, and it was nearly impossible to have any sort of dialog. However, having popped all the corks in anticipation for the group tasting, I soldiered on and tasted all six on my own!
