coconut?

I went to an Argentinian wine tasting evening last night. I went to Argentina last year and it is an amazing place. I would recommend it to anyone. The wine is very good (and very cheap over there), so an evening of Argentinian wine seemed like a good idea. It was nice to drink the wine and to learn a bit more about it all. At the evening you are expected to bring your own glasses and are provided with a small glass of 8 different wines. And a bit of paper so you can jot down your impressions of the wine's appearance, smell, taste and any further comments. My thoughts did not show me to be much of a wine buff. For colour I was going for things like dark red, not so dark red and so on. For smell and taste I did get dark fruits right but that is what every one says about fruity red wines. I couldn't smell the coconut and pencil shavings I should have been getting from one of the wines... The evening wasn't as poncy as i have made it sound (although any wine tasting evening is going to be a bit poncy) and was enjoyable and there were some very nice wines, particularly the last one. And the couple running it clearly knew their stuff. I may be going to more wine tastings in the future.
