Craig's House
Tasted Saturday, April 14, 2007 by Siggy with 701 views
Craig and Nita Vanderah invited our tasting group over for a Saturday evening dinner at their house. In attendance were Craig and Nita, Brad and Diane England, Jeff and Marya Samuelson, Dave and Desiree Dalluge, Chris Larson, and me. I was unfortunately solo since my wife Jennie had a nasty head cold. Nita and Craig prepared an amazing, multi-course meal that paired gorgeously with the wines. After a few too many sips, we headed to Craig's basement for a jam session... Brad and Craig took turns on the Gibson SG, I played the Telecaster, and Marya and Jeff played drums. SOTN (song of the night) had to be Brad singing "Corked DRC Blues." I believe Chris has video of all of this, so we better stop teasing him or it may surface on YouTube.
Thanks to the Vanderahs, and everyone else, for a great evening.

Zesty, racy red apples and toast. Deep and concentrated, yet light and fresh in the mouth. Delicious.

Crisp and elegant, with zesty orchard fruit, toast, light spice. Minerally and fresh. Not quite as racy as the Margaine. Delicious.
