Clarification: actually had 2 tastings in a row tonight.
First one was definitely more my style — around a long table with the winemaker sharing anecdotes — but the 2nd one was more what I’m used to: a stand-up tasting.
Decent wines but few exceptional ones, favourites turned out to be aged German Rieslings and a classic NZ Syrah.
Did get a good tip though.
First wine tasting in a long time.
Happy to know I’m not out of practice; rather unhappy with how I know this: they’re too bloody slow. I shouldn’t have to say the name of the wine 4 times and point to the bottle to communicate which wine I want to try!…even if it is a Danish name.
@kdfrawg By US standards, perhaps; HK 1–2br apartments are around 500 square feet too, but no building that I'm aware of has a shared laundry room.

@phoneboy I wish I could manage just 1 meal a day, one for which I could have plenty of time to plan. I hate eating when it isn't pleasurable.

@literary Strange to me, for an upscale apartment building, to have a shared laundry room.

Crap. Can't find an article about that idea where e.g if you start with water at 10ºC and increase it to 11ºC, you can't tell the difference; from 11ºC to 12ºC you can't tell the difference either, and so on to 100ºC, which consequently suggests that 11ºC and 100ºC are indistinguishable.
