June 4, 2004
Becky Wilson and Nan Slick treated us to a special tasting on May
16th. Entitled "Beautiful Blonde Blends"" with a
sub-title " A presentation of wines for a new cuisine and a new
millennium"" with a brochure presented to each ofus. True
to the title, each of the wines was described by the vintner or
producer, accompanied with a recipe for an appropriate dish.
The overwhelming favorite was Conundrum 2001 ($25.98). In fairness to
the rest of the field a separate vote was taken of the remaining
"favorites", with the results as follows:
Rosenblum, Vintners Cuvèe Blanc IV ($11.99) -6 votes
Cline, Oakley, Vin Blanc 2001 ($7.98) - 5 votes
Folie à Deux, Menage à Trois 2002
($10.99) - 4 votes
d'Arenberg, The Stump Jump 2002 ($9.99) - 3 votes
Archery Summit, Vireton 2000 ($27.99) - 1 vote
Curtis, Heritage Blanc 2002 ($10.99) - 1 vote
Thanks for a great tasting and presentation.
Bus Trip Any One?
Fred Seymour advises there is an "import" wine shop in D.C.
with good tastings, said to cost approximately $10.00 with an array
of as many 40 wines, usually French. He is seeing if the Frederick
and Baltimore Chapters may be interested in renting a bus or van(s).
Let's discuss at the June meeting.
June Tasting
Please note, the June tasting is set for June 13 at the Pardoes
-directions on the back. Please call them by Wednesday, June 9th if
