6 lucky people + 3 eager hosts + 15 wines = new friends + new experiences and a great event.

I have to remind myself that our wine festival started with 20 people and now we sell out at 80 with a waiting list 3 times a year. I am determined to make this tasting a semiannual event.

Thanks to Peasant Cheese Shop who creatively paired the wines. We managed to meander through all the wines in a timely fashion.



We began with Marie Courtin Champagne and ended up with Le Macchiole Scrio Syrah…

Fantastic!

Let’s just say that there wasn’t a bad wine in the line up. What a privilege to be able to taste and understand the quality of the wines presented.

Favorites! It evolved into the usual battle: Old World versus New World. But, they were all favorites!



The evening ended with hugs, which must be a good sign.

Thank you all for joining us and we hope to see more in the Fall session.
