G'day, mate! Join me this week as we taste a wine from the Hunter Valley region of Australia. I do love a good Semillon - and the Okanagan has a lot of them. But how does that compare to the Hunter Valley, one of the major Semillon producers in the world? Check out the video and find out! This is a 2018 Mount Pleasant Elizabeth Semillon.
My journey to complete my WSET level 2 and my WSET 3 certifications was populated with many tastings and bottles of fine wine. In the older posts, read about my journey in this blog that featured wines in both of the courses. Now that I have completed my WSET 3, I now use this as a place to review and talk about different wines that I am currently drinking as well as wineries that I visit in my new role as a private Wine Tour Guide.
