Hi Phillip,

Haven't heard from you yet. I'm going to assume that Rita and I
are "reserved for previous guest". I bought what I hope is
a killer bottle for tomorrow.
See you then.

Barry

Seems to me that the Montelena unfairly breaks the price barrier at ARS400 or better. Still, I've seen such wines humbled many times ;-)

Count me in next time, I'll bring a nice bottle plus a "terrine campagnarde"

I watched a couple of wine tasting dates come and go without participation because of conflicting schedules.

Now I (and my wife) await the next. You certainly couldn't have run out of wines to try, so I must assume one of the following reasons;

1. The participants died of alcohol poisoning.

2. All the former members now doing the AA class in Spanish and don't have a free evening.

3. It's too cold to drink on the terrace.

Please enlighten me as to what I don't know that I don't know. Are there plans for another?

Michael
