Weekly tasting group RWP #341; Some random wines

Everybody had to bring a flight to taste fully blind by the other participants. The order of the flights is just a wild guess because we don’t know which wines the other participants brought. We try to start with light and simple and older, to more full bodied, more complex and younger. Someone starts and then the others follow when they think it is the right moment. And -to be honest- in most cases it works nicely.
