no problem at all tanglenet.

It was nice seeing everyone again, and those for the first time, Eric, Terry and Keytohwy. The lizardkings had a blast, I thought the theme was fun and wouldn't mind doing it again.

I'll attempt a recap, but I don't really do well with notes, so maybe someone else can help with that.

Here are the wines in no particular order:

2003 Bressler
2003 Robert Foley Claret
2002 Drinkward Peschon
2001 Pride Mountain Cabernet
2005 Realm Beckstoffer Dr. Crane
1999 Mondavi Reserve
2003 Smith-Haut-Lafite
2005 Don Melchor
2004 Si:kjube
1995 Clerc Milon

I thought all the wines showed very well. It's hard to say which was my wotn, but I will say that the standouts for me were the drinkward, foley, mondavi and the s-h-l. While Mrs. lizardking liked the same ones except for the s-h-l; bordeaux just isn't her thing.

Thanks Eric for bringing stemware and note paper!

That was a lot of fun, nice group of fun folks, and some pretty darn good wines! My pleasure on the stems, but it was keytohwy that brought the note paper Smile

Well, I had a blast getting to meet everyone and drink some great wine. I hope I can bring my better half next time.
