Wine Training

Today Cave & Cellar (one of our wine supplier)came to conduct a wine training for us. My staff just dropped by my office to inform me that..keep pushing me to join for fun. Since i've done all the market list requisition, why not i take a short break to attend the training and gain some extra knowledge. :)
The trainer is a skinny lady, named Ashley. She only gave very brief information about wine, those thingy i've learned 6 yrs ago, for me just a revision. No harm to listen more about it.Basically, some of the knowledge i've forgotten. hahahhaah..
