We (Lunas, Westburgs and Schomburgs) had a great time together over the holidays and I wanted to share a very fun night with you. It started over Thanksgiving with a small debate over good wines. This evolved into a wine tasting one night over Christmas break. The tasting would be a "blind" so you would not know which wine you were drinking. Each couple brought several bottles each from a different price range: a $0-$10, a $10-$20 and a $20+. This provided a great variety. All were red wines. We then were given a small amount of each over an hour or more. This was only interrupted by snack foods to clean the pallet and numerous great stories. Meg Schomburg and Jordan Westburg poured the wines and washed our glasses after each taste. the rest of the kids waited on us providing cheese, crackers and snacks. It was a really fun adventure. The Bernhardts even joined later in the evening. Below are some pics. Our hostess with the line up of the wines in their confidential paper bags, our servers, the wines in winning order from left to right, the group sitting around the table and lastly my score sheet. Most of the notes were added to the sheet after the results were calculated and revealed. The sheet started with three columns: first one had glasses 1 through 8; second column we rated the flavor on a 1 to 10 scale and third column was notes if you wanted to make any. The entire night was a ball. Honestly, it was really a reason to consume large volumes of alcohol with great friends!
