Next Wine Party

[TheEngineer]

It was about this time last year that I ran my first real wine party and I think it went well. Have since gone and put together a few smaller tastings and they've also gone well (for me anyways)...so it's time to go back big again. This Saturday doing a 30th anniversary recreation (kind of) of the 1976 Paris tasting (California versus France). Have extended the tasting to include Champagne-sparkling wine, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir/Burgundy and a Dessert/Sauternes set in addition to the Chardonnay and the Cabernet Sauvignon/Bordeaux. Obviously we are not recreating it in its totality (each person is bringing one wine and some can't stretch for the top end burgundy or the Cask 23) but it will be true in spirit. Double blind. Will let everyone know of the outcome! I'm thirsty...I mean excited!
