Arnold started the evening off with some of his older Sherry's and this was outstanding. His flight of white wines were from some of his earlier tastings in the 70's and all of the whites held up pretty well. He did bordeaux/burgandy in the red flight and on the nose i guessed them right away. After being in the glass you could not tell the difference and WOW for their flavor, color and dpth in the glass. Thank you Arnold.
