The last time I had a cold was back in 1999. It came on the day after cg's wedding, and the day after that we were at the Santa Rosa facility of WineToday (before the NY Times blew them up). Leslie Sbrocco had set up a huge tasting for us and some friends of ours. I was at the stage where your nose won't stop running and you go through two boxes of tissues a day. Anyway, the tasting was great fun by all accounts, but you couldn't prove it by me. They showed us the process they use to judge the wines they get, and gave us their scoring sheets to judge 8 flights of 5 wines each. I have no notes because I couldn't smell or taste a thing. Judy had a wonderful time, too bad I missed it. A few months later they were all gone - Leslie off to the NY Times, her own web site, and authoring books; Tim Fish off to WS and other pursuits.
