One of the photo forums I post too occasionally set a challenge recently – to take a photo purposely out of focus. With the constant striving for cut-glass sharpness in everyone’s photographs this is about as left field as one can get. But many delved right in with a host of images. Some worked, others didn’t, but at least they attempted something new and different.

Thus the Sunday Snap Shot image this week is my effort at Out of Focus. A wine triptych combining a wine glass, a corkscrew and a wine bottle…

Wine Tasting Tuscan Style

Opening with the ‘basic’ wines he was almost apologetic at their simplicity. Personally I found them a delight; no idea of price at the time (the top of the range comes in at a very reasonable €20 cellar door) but to a bottle these ‘lesser’ wines were lovely, offering a balanced richness, a true regional acidic streak in the RI.VA.LE Chianti and a touch riper, softer palate to the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
