No date set yet, but were wondering if folks be interested in joining me and a fellow winos in a spicy and boozy virtual challenge.

Goal is to see who cries first with the above. The booze is required to wash down the tears

I’d rather drink Trump wine!
Is this like the cinnamon challenge?
More fun and wine is better

Not following ghost peppers it isn't. Nor the day after!
Most Koreans I know avoid this culinary silliness. But if you want to liquefy the contents of your colon in the most painful way possible (that likely doesn’t require medical intervention), then have at it!

I think the idea of a WS Zoom "online" would actually be pretty fun. Pick a wine that everyone could buy and open together and enjoy. Has anyone done that yet?

We've done it a few times with the canadian guys, but we just pick a theme and talk tasting notes. Few folks will go 3-4 bottles into the night and fall asleep right at the keyboard snoring.
Two of the competitors are doing milk. i'm going to be opening an aussie shiraz
I got my son a small bag of Paqui Haunted Ghost Pepper chips, as a joke. They're supposed to be some of the hottest around. He managed to get down 6 of them while gaming. I haven't had the courage yet to try one.

Rothko, back in April I set up a continual Zoom meeting and sent out the invitation to as many of the WS forum peeps as I could find via email and Facebook. The word spread and we got a huge turnout at the first few - something like 35 people. It petered out fairly quickly after that, but a handful of diehards kept it going for a few months.
Since June, a group of nine of the Toronto crew have been doing a Zoom tasting every two weeks. We each bought a set of twelve 4-oz screw cap bottles from Amazon. On tasting day we each pick a bottle from our cellar, pour nine taster bottles and label them with our name, then meet at noon in a parking lot to exchange them. We do the blind tasting of the nine bottles that evening. It works beautifully.
