The colors of Wolf Blass
IT was a heady, wine-filled three days. Wolf Blass Wines came to town with the Treasury Wine Estates top brass in attendance, for a series of wine activities that included a wine dinner, a master class and a tasting session of the flagship Wolf Blass wines. I missed the master class and its highlight—a wine-blending exercise/contest that had the best blend (and blender) up for a WSET scholarship, courtesy of the Wolf Blass Academy. But I made it to the wine dinner at the Hotel Sofitel’s La Veranda and the wine socials a day after at the Makati Shangri-La’s Sage Bespoke Bar and Grill. On both occasions, I had the rare opportunity to engage in wine talk with Stuart Rusted, Wolf Blass Ambassador, and Yodissen Mootoosamy, Treasury Wine Estates regional business manager-South Asia, Indochina, Philippines, Indonesia and the Pacific.
