[winoweenie]

Back last nite bent but unbowed. 3 other nice couples with us. Hope that BigRedWines posts as I didn't keep notes. Can remembewr the highlights howm-be-ebberly. Robert Craig, Flora Springs,Buehler, Scherrer, Joe Swan, and Balducchi were stand-outs. The definate low tasting point of the week for me was surprisingl;y, Shafer. I'll talk to Doug Shafer about it later on this week. Diamond Creek only tastes for at their summer picnics. Dehlinger doesn't taste period but stared Tom down so' reluctantl he broke out a 97 Estate Pinot. My fall shipment was over 1800 bucks so figure.
June poured about an ounce for everyone and was going to keep the rest until I said I'd buy the bottle so again, reluctantly , she gave us the bottle. Everyone else was generous to a fault. Think everyone had as much or more fun than moi' but was really ready to come haome as one more time CB was called for jury duty and the suckers wouldn't excuse her even with a letter from our doctor. Life's not FAIR! Will get going as soon as I recover. WW
