A tasting of organic wines from Frankland Estate, Western Australia was held on the 28th floor of Pacific Place at the elegantly decorated, Pacific Club, a private club overlooking the city, on Wednesday, 6 August 2008. The event was hosted by FIN Wine, www.take-fin.com a distribution company and Jan Ganser, managing director along with Benjawan Wisootsat. Also present representing the Frankland Estate was Hunter Smith www.franklandestate.co.au
General Manager Artur Kluczewski, www.pacificcityclub.com who is well-know in Bangkok, told me that they have a new French chef and I shall return shortly to sample his cuisine.
I was particularly impressed with a wine made in the Bordelais style: Olmo’s Reward, Frankland Estate, Western Australia 2001 a new-world St.Emilion, Robert Parker gave it 91 points. Two Shiraz a 2002 and 2005 were also good although all these wines are high alcohol 14.5%.
Also tasted were several Rieslings from Germany and Austria.

    Hi Kit,
    I was, for the fun of it, searching for my grandfather who was a pretty well known chef ages ago…I’m 57. His name was Antoine Borel and I was just wondering…..Thanks, D.
