The wines where just as good as they were when we helped you narrow your chooses down to just five. Thanks again. Hopefully everyone in class enjoyed the extra cheese and meat I over purchased. Glad I could share with you all. thanks, jfc iii Great job as always ladies. The wines where just as good as they were when we helped you narrow your chooses down to just five.

The one exception may have been The Prisoner, which I felt was so overwhelmed by the alcohol that it threw the wine completely out of balance. Le Cigare Volant showed promise but died very quickly mid-palate, leaving several of us at the table saying, "Wait, where'd you go? You were there just a second ago!" The Cdp was good quality and standard for the appelation, and because of the freak vintage was ready and able to be drunk. I personally felt that the Phantom Bogle was a syrupy, thick, overly-sweet oakbomb, but hey...that craving for a blueberry milkshake I'd been experiencing has now been sated. No notes on the Rosemount GSM, found it to be typical Aussie mass-marketed swill. I thought the ladies did a nice job with their presentation, and gave us pertinent and interesting information regarding the wines and producers without going overboard (there have been previous presentations where the winemakers bio's have been read directly from the handouts and in their entirety and it was just waaaay too much information. As usual, this was a fun time and well worth the money even though I wasn't crazy about most of the wines. The cheeses were outstanding.

Can we say Fidel! May Raul, not quite as harsh as his brother. Really has the aroma of a good smoke and I do know Cuban cigars! Bring it on for a relaxing evening in the cabana. 2. The Pope drinks wine! Thank GOD! Better than sucking on a rock from the vineyard on a hot summer day because this wine is sun-baked and the essence of the Rhone. 3. Be AFRAID! A darkness so black has fallen over the room. Almost spooky it so good. One drink and you feel so safe - oh, is the alcohol kicking in! Nice. 4. Ah-CHU! Have I been pepper sprayed? Much better than being spayed. 5. No orange suits. This calls for isolation with shackles. Even Hannibal deserved a straw for his chianti but we deserve a bigger glass! 1. Can we say Fidel!
