life with a cold

Nothing to blog about this last week as I have had one of the worst head colds I can remember. No sore throat just congestion and in this business when you can not smell or taste anything other than a blunt instrument it doesnt bode well for wine nuances. I did a tasting for a charity on wednesday where i tried Zolo Torrontes, Kim Crawford Sauv Blanc, Chateau de la Bonnelierre Chinon, Fontafredda Barbera, Chateau Poncharac Bordeaux and marquis Phillips Shiraz.. all tasted well according to the participants but I dont think there was a corked or bad bottle in the bunch. At least I hope not.
