Friday 21 and Saturday 22 Weekend update—The cast of crazies is set. The slate of wines is LOCKED (except for the ones that aren't-- "the surprises") Attending are: Bob in NC/TW champagneinhand drycab/TW mgriffith/TW mindmuse/TW mtpisgah/TW musedirTW Old Doug/TW, S1/HRH S2/TW Tommy Vernieri/TW LOCALS—Jack/TW, Tim Our "excuse" is the opening of musedir's Rock & Roll Photography exhibit at The Gibbes Museum of Art. We are residing at an inn in the historic district and conducting afternoon tastings there. Chefs are pairing dinners with wines that we are binging; the restaurants are within staggering distance of the inn. All wines are 750x2 because of the size of the crowd; we will try to find a steady hand to post photos. I will take notes for as long as I am coherent (oops, too late). As the moderator of this insanity, I thought I would set the Vegas (baby) over/under line at 70 bottles, but Old Doug may have something to say about that. There will be Sine Qua Non, Saxum, Clos des Papes, Beaucastel, amazing German Riesling, Grand Cru Burg, 1990 & 2000 Bord, an amazing American Merlot horizontal, Alsatian VT, Washington, a bare-fisted Napa Cab battle, some crazy Italian...There are many more but I'm too tired to remember. Oh, and someone mentioned Port from the 60s and 70s. If we survive to live another day we hope we can add more of y'all in the future.
