And believe it or not snowing in Seattle on the 3rd day of November.

I am a hater of many things, most Rosé being some of them, but that Seven Hills is always nice. Enjoy!

You can still type as witnessed by the fact you posted about the Groth.

Ours:

That Sylvaner had some fine moments. Probably the best Sylvaner I've ever had. The Grüners were the two best bottles there, and leftovers from two different events.
I was quite fond of the Manzanilla with the sandwich as well.

I'm calling it Carmona Capone. Basically 2/1/.5, w 2 dashes Peychaud's, stirred w ice and strained with a Maraschino cherry garnish.

Her Ladyship rated it 5 stars.
Kansas City folks may get the Capone connection.

Status: offline 		Karl, thanks for the info on the WI wine. Have had some Marechal Foch in IN wine blends and it is an interesting grape.

Cookie, I join you in having had a "crap-tastic" day if there is emphasis on the crap part.

Had a change from the planned red to an unplanned white last night for FFP. Will continue the white tonight.

Idlelwild 2016, North Coast, White Blend "The Bee". Muscat Canelli, Arneis, Cortese.

Long story on the switch. Still formulating impressions.
