Robert's Ramblings

Here's a place I have seen many times but never actually been to, the Birkenhead Tavern.

Seen here from across the Port River it looks alive and buzzing and perhaps even warrants a visit for a a meal or even drink or two.

I must say I am a sucker for anything waterfront so that alone is enough or a draw. Throw in some live music and we will be there!

I often hear wine punters discuss vertical tasting events.

Despite the fact that this actually means tasting the same wine from a series of successive vintages I find it amusing to imagine it simply being the normal state of a glass of wine held in the hand.

So what would a horizontal tasting event be like? I'll let you imagine that one for yourselves.
