Hello,
Our last meeting managed to fall on one of the very few days we've had this month that hasn't been overcast. It was a lovely day to sit in the sun on the Barbour's lovely patio and enjoy an extra glass of the delightful wines that Nan Slick put together for us from the Alsace region of France. I've noted on many occasions that our group has very similar taste and we seem to vote for clear favorites by a very large majority. Not so this month. Our votes were widely spread among the wines offered.
No.

Our next tasting will be at the home of Anna and LeRoy Stewart. LeRoy will be presenting a tasting featuring Tempranillo. Our meeting will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Father's Day, Sunday, June 15th. Please call the Stewarts by Thursday, June 12th if you plan on attending. Remember goodies for the table are always appreciated.
I was sorry to hear that Pennee Parker has managed to break her leg. In typical Pennee fashion she never does anything in a small way. She will be in a cast for six months. YUCK!
Some of our members have asked me recently about more structured tastings, where they could learn more about the standard components of wine tasting. I took this to Walt Rachele and Pat Valas. They have offered to do this as a side tasting at there home. They have four possible dates available: Saturday June 21 & 28 July 5 & 12. Time will probably be around 2:00 PM. There will be a small fee to be determined by the cost of the wines tasted. Please give them a call right away so they can firm up a date or dates.
In water one sees one's own face;
But in wine one beholds the heart of another.
