The Wild Wine event was a big success!!! Thanks to everyone who trudged out in the blinding snow (all one-inch of it) to join us. We had more people than ever, including lots of first-timers. Thank goodness for the new house, there is no way everyone would have fit into the bungalow in Royal Oak.
I think the final tally was 18 bottles, give or take, and no real clunkers among them. There were some great "old vine" zins, a "gap-tooth" vertical of excellent Marques de Riscal Rioja (2000, 2002, 2003 - 2001 sucked anyhow, who needs it...), and all kinds of other velvety smooth romantic reds. And the food was also wonderful, as usual.
Yesterday was a day of recovery and flushing the system with sushi and water, and today I stand, electrolytes almost fully re-balanced, ready for the week!
What a cool time. Thanks everyone, for making it happen!
