The first wine tasting at VineStock was a big success and we had 15 people come out to taste some great wines. We will be having another one in January so be sure to come out. Here is Thomas the Sommelier. The Chianti was a favorite. It started in a robust Italian fashion, but finished with a light finish. The Josmeyer was a mix of steel and silk. It would be brilliant as a starter and even as a dessert. Earthy and herbacious. This was my personal favorite. You can never go wrong with a Marsannay. This was a very interesting wine. It is very complex. Here are some of the people that came out. In the back is the Wine Korea blogger, Joshua Hall. I think he likes it. It's good to smell the wine.

Dear Seoul Eats Readers, I would first like to give a warm welcome to Michelle Min who will be joining the Seoul Eats team as a photographer. Michelle is a great photographer and graphic designer. She and I are currently working together at O'ngo Food Communications. Michelle is designing our company website and for chef Anna Kim. You can see her design website here. Thank you Michelle and thanks for the great pictures! Dan As I mentioned in a previous post , all I want for Christmas is olive oil and wine from VineStock. The wines are exceptional and so is the olive oil. They have a wide range of wines and foods which are perfect for the holidays. Here is Thomas the sommelier. He is one of the most passionate and knowledgeable sommeliers that I have met. We had a great tasting today of some his best wines. Wow....nice shot, Michelle. Here was one of our most favorite wines: Inspire. The label design represents a new grape vine. The Abrate Ceisa 199...

Today I was invited to Vinestock in Seorae Maeul: the French District in Seoul. There I got to meet Thomas Scheidt and his wife Jung Eun Lim. They have a boutique wine shop. The Arboreum Brand of Olive Oils are used in all of Alain Ducasse's restaurants. It tastes like summer grass and with a herbacious bite that hits in the back of the throat. It's one of the best Olive Oils that I've ever had. This is a Sauvignon Blanc that they had called Inspire. It looks a little like a ginseng root, but it's supposed to be a grape vine. Here is some 20 year old balsamico called Antico. I want one of these in my stocking for Christmas. Readers, I like gifts (hint, hint). And here are some real olives that a flavor that bites back. http://cafe.naver.com/vinestock.cafe?iframe_url=/ArticleRead.nhn%3Farticleid=6 VineStock 02-536-6081 Email I'll be writing more about this place soon.
