FOR ART’S SAKE! Born in Newcastle, KHOLT is a Hunter Valley based artist with a portfolio comprising of pieces as rich and varied in style as her own aesthetic bent. Originally specializing in abstract female portraiture, KHOLT has moved from abstract expressionism in charcoal and acrylic, through finely tuned portrait on canvas, various toothed papers and hessian, to the naive contemporary using a limited palette. From pop art landscapes to the more primitive in portraiture, KHOLT uses a combination of traditional and non traditional techniques, all the while holding true to her keen sensibilities. KHOLT is inspired by the concepts of context, emotional connection, and her ever evolving sense of self. Having won highly regarded awards and commendations in recent times.

Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of natural things that has been brought to the greatest perfection.
I offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than possibly any other purely sensory thing that can be purchased.

Bonsoir Sparks and Sparky,
Etymology( from wikipedia)
The modern word is French. It derives from Middle French where it referred to a court official charged with transportation of supplies. This use of the term dates to a period when pack animals would be used to transport supplies. The Middle French probably finds its origin in Old Provençal where a saumalier was a pack animal driver. Sauma refered to a pack animal or the load of a pack animal. In Late Latin, sagma referred to a packsaddle.
Very interesting……..
I truly believed, being a sommelier is an art.
What is the role of a Sommelier in restaurant??
Choosing the right wine with your meal, Sommelier don’t serve only wines, they are on charge of their stock,storage, training other staff. They should be able to describe region, vineyards, and vintages. Sommeliers will decant wines, decanting will be usually done with red 10 years place, that will allow the wine to breathe and separate from sediments.
Providing the wines in restaurant can be very difficult, doesn’t matter how much the wine cost??? You have to talk with your clients; I think it’s all about experience and sharing the wine.(Imagine….BYO CASK ONLY….Enjoy your guns party……)
I do remember that night when everyone was bringing their cellar into the restaurant where I use to work, I was very, very please to look at some great vintages and great names, I used to tried their wines, smell it, etc…
One night that guy stand up and strutting me vividely, and said:
Are you drinking my wine??? Just reply to him politely I was checking his wine, that might be cork, or any wine fault. Pardon me my French he was little beat “Pooi”…..
It’s show me for some people it is very personnal, and emotional…
By this end of his dinner, I did serve his dessert wine without trying it,”thanks god” that was corked… he called me and said: Can you please pick a desert wine for me and try it…I was very please by his reaction.
I can understand some patrons may be very intimidated by the Sommelier; we are here to giving you a great time within few hours .
Please share your beverage spirit with us, good or bad……

Bonsoir Sparks and Sparky,
Last week , I had a great time!!!!!( Smile…) We had a vertical tasting,
What a great way to understand wines, that was truly a magic experience, you basically try different vintages of the same wine.
We had a Derwent Estate Riesling 2007,2006,2005,2004,2003,I will have few words about them, later on.
Derwent Estate is a family owned business situated just 20 minutes north of Hobart, cool climate viticulture.Tasmania’s got a very good reputation for Sparkling wine,Pinot noir and Riesling.
Congratulation to Pat and Andrew Hanigan’s to make such handcraft wines and the beautifull wine making of Mr Julian Alcorso.
Let’s talk about the grape variety,
For so many years,lots of people were thinking as a cheap and nasty sweet liquid,I truly believe of Riesling is on the way back,I hope so any way.To my eyes,it’s probably one of most seducing ,and complex grape variety.
Riesling is a white grape originally from Germany.
Riesling is an aromatic grape variety,with a lots of perfum,lemon,lime,very floral caractere,like a rose,Tip:Next time smell a rose and go and get a bottle of Riesling,and let us know…..or pear,green apple,very hight acidity level, great wine to match food, you can have them with seafood or Asian influence.
Particularity of Riesling,Also you can keep it for many many years,Aged Riesling will smell like Kerosene,sounds yaky,but that’s the truth……and also .Toasty,Honey……..
Let’s go back to the:
2007 Derwent Estate Riesling:
Fresh lime,Elegant perfumed,rose petal,love the acidity,give you a nice………up to you try it..
General:Great wine ,elegant,like a beautifull women,
Great struture and balance,Bravo!!!!
2006 Derwent Estate Riesling:
Very elegant style, fresh clean palate aromatic,lime,citrus

2005 Derwent Estate Riesling
Lime ,citrus with a note of je ne sais quoi?
General:Just brilliant example,one of the best Tasmanian. 4 gold medals, trophy for the Best Tassie White at the 2006 Royal Hobart
wine show
2004 Derwent Estate Riesling
Great structure,delicate,floral,citrus,crisp,just sublime
General:Very cheap for what you’ve got.
2003 Derwent Estate Riesling
Intense limey citrus fruit on the nose rich and full of ripe limes,
lemons and apricots. Finish is clean and dry,
General:Just tres bon,good for Yamy
Any idea for an Asian dish, merci
