Once upon a time, there was a Gemini, whose name was Jingying Li

Several gems were discovered recently to have more brilliance and fire than Diamond. Yet, Diamond is still the hardest rock on this planet.

Wine Tasting Meetup

I went to a wine tasting meeting organized by Bacchus Society Wine Club ( http://bacchussociety.com/wineclub/) last night and it was a blast!

We evaluated 7 wine from South France. My favorite was a dessert wine: Domaine de Rancy. It's phenomenal!

It was a great group of ppl, i had such good time, 3 hours flew by. The venue is perfect for the event too. Bourgedy Room is a 4-star restaurant specilizing in Tapas.
I tried some France Cheeses, mushroom bisque, lamb domathes (more like spanakopita rather than stuffed grape leave) and duck breasts. The duck breasts were delicious, so tender but not greesy. :-) There Tarimasu is delicious too! best dessert ever invented by the Italian. I shared it with a member at the wine club, and he offered to pay for the desserted later. :-P

Later, one of the member brought another France wine to share with us.
After the meeting was over, two of my new friends that i just met there bought me a bottle of Riesling produced in Germany to share among 3 of us.

Not only we taste wines at this meetup, the organizers also gave persentation about how each wine was made, how grapes grow, and background information of each wine producer. The event was very fun and informative as well. :-)

I definately want to go to their next meetup! :-)
