Great times, all! I can't really add much more to what has already been said. I will, however, again thank Wild Ginger and Ole for helping facilitate a fantastic (and, from their standpoing, probably a little challenging) wine dinner. It's a top-notch place to be sure, and it was a pleasure having Ole facilitate the tasting and wine service. What a great night.

I hope travels back North went well and hopefully we'll lift glasses again soon!

I'd like to thank everyone who attended for their contribution of great wine and great company. Individual notes of thanks to Ampuis for kicking off the idea, to BRR for his organizing efforts, and to Seaquam for the opening invocation. I'm impressed at how the younger generation of enthusiasts are up to speed on their knowledge and discernment.

Now, did anyone take notes? I think the only reasonable hope for a complete tasting report is a shared effort. I'll start jotting down impressions, but I don't even have a complete list of what we tasted. There were lots of interesting wines, and most were first timers.

Sorry I couldn't stay out there for another week to attend this, but it was still great meeting up with Mattach and Ampuis. Sounds like y'all had a wonderful evening.

Yeah, sisbster, you missed out! Ampuis gave me some guff about my new-world leaning palate and compared you and me in that respect. Aw, what does he know anyway?

BRR, Now that you mention it, I guess you were "leaning". Credit to the Guigal.

Sibs is in a different league, just like the Spurs should be

I have been way to busy to think about wine lately, but must add my comments on an amazing night! Good food, great wine, the best company! We'll have to try to do this more often, way too much fun to only let happen once in a blue moon!
