Last Friday night has got to go into the books as one of most  – if not THE most – amazing events we have ever done.

Everything worked together so perfectly.  I was so pleased to hear the many comments on the food pairings.  Now, I’ve got to confess something:  I had not tasted the wines before making the pairings!   The distributor was so late in getting the samples to us that I went on line and looked at each winery’s website along with other sites who drink and judge wine.  Based on those descriptions of the wines, I developed the menu.  I know I was taking a chance but I’ve done it before on individual wines.   We have tasted 5 of 6 wines and the 6th wine didn’t come in.  So, I did the google thing.  But, this is the first time, we had not tasted even one wine.  Maybe, we should NOT taste the wines at all but just go by the websites’ descriptions!! 

Well, that might be taking too much of a chance.  No, we’ll stil work at tasting the wines but maybe we won’t be so hysterical about it if the distributor doesn’t deliver on the wine samples.!!
