Tasted Saturday, October 20, 1990 by bestdamncab with 78 views
Great Wine tasting during a 4 hour dinner with the Wine Group.
Less expensive Chardonnay with 2 winners.
Wine Group has both Bordeaux lovers and those who rarely enjoy it so less expensive and poorly stored bottles showed up.
The top 3 including 2 Opus One were clear cut winners across all flights.
Great dinner of Wine, Words, and Wit.
