參加了由California Wine Institute 舉辦的 Discover California Wines Asia Tour 2019， 紅白相當高質，且不乏性價比吸引的酒款。氣泡方面要突圍而出看來會有點困難。
功力不足，時間所限，超過250款酒，實不能一一品嚐，只挑幾款跟酒友分享。
Grevino Chardonnay 2013
成熟果香，蘋果、蜜瓜、蜂蜜、奶油等，酸度偏高然而毫不刺激，很舒適，收結清新悠長。
Fruit Driven ，強勁黑加倫子香氣，混和布冧、黑椒和煙絲。厚身，甜美，juicy。
Ca' Momi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 Black fruit ，Chocolate ，oak。酸度中等，finish悠長，質感非常滑溜。
Duckhorn Napa Valley Merlot 2016
黑莓、布冧、尤加利葉、雲呢拿，酸度單寧平衡，質感細滑如絲。
Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
成熟的黑果、咖啡、雲呢拿、煙絲、黑朱古力香氣，厚身，中等酸度，單寧甜美。
這款奇特之處在於一點膩感都沒有，一杯下肚後會讓人停不下來。
Mettler Family Vineyards 'Epicenter' Old Vine Zinfandel, Lodi 2016 黑莓，少許菜乾、提子乾和煙盒的香氣，混搭得很討喜，入口微甜，頗為圓潤，finsih 長。 價錢也相當相宜。雖然加州以國際品種的出品非常高質，但Zinfandel還是比較有獨特性， Mettler Family的這款實在非常出色。
感謝California Wine Institute organize 這個event，讓酒莊跟商家互相了解，
也讓香港酒友對美國酒有很多認識。
期待下年再會，Cheers ~
