Degustateurs Penfolds Grange

My home, outside with tent, heaters and private chef. Group is still not ready to dine and taste inside so I made the above plans work out. Chef John hit it out of the park with outstanding food to match the wines served.

This was my last tasting as chief wino which I have been running the group for 25+ years. New regime and the group will continue as we started in 1967. We now have (3) second generation members.
