Great notes, Mark. One correction on spelling--it's Gunderloch ending in an 'h'. It was only 8% alcohol by volume which is another plus.
I passed on dessert since I couldn't even eat the chicken shishkabob. Dottie got the baklava (spelling?) and Hattie ordered the one with custard which I think we had in October but I never got the name then either.

I think the Barossa was the WOTN for me too although I also liked the Zin and Lynmar Pinot Noir and of course the German dessert wine. Didn't get quite as much from the Washington State wine but was glad to try it as I do like some Washington red wines and had not had a Quilceda Creek before. No bad showings in the bunch. I'm still annoyed with my mistake hastily putting wines in the cooler to leave town. I pulled an Austrian Riesling from the refrigerator instead of the Del Bondio Bella Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon I intended to bring. We didn't open the whites except for the dessert wine because the reds go better with the Greek dishes. Maybe I'll bring the Del Bondio to Finger Lakes offline. Verne will need a break from the "sissy whites" or "sissy reds" after awhile. I look forward to his "breakfast of champions" where more than the conversation is sparkling!
