Had a mostly terrfic afternoon at Paringa. We did the usual tasting thing across their entire range of Peninsula, Estate and Single Vineyard wines followed by a superb lunch of quail entree and mains of duck and salmon. The hilight though was a 1997 Unfiltered Estate Pinot, of which only a few bottles were made as an 'experiment' by winemaker Lindsay McCall. We had one of the last six remaining. So keen was Lindsay to hear of the results of his experiment, he joined us for a chat after lunch. The news was good re the wine, lovely nose although the fruit was on the way out, as you would expect. The conversation then degenerated into talk of french wine and other FROG NONESENSE.
