Outstanding June Tasting
John and Deborah Pardoe furnished their home as well as assisting
Pennee Parker in the June program entitled "Picnic-Grill
Out-Food and Wine Paring", The wines and rankings in order were:
Sobon Estate Zinfandel, 2002 Rocky Top Vineyard
($16.95) -13 votes
Michele Colin-Deleger, 2002 Bourgogne Chardonnay
"($21.99) -3 votes
And then there was a 3-way tie with all of 2 votes each for 2003 Ca'del
Sol Big House Pink $9.99, E. Guigal Cotes du Rhone,
2000, $11.99, and Santa Julia "Tardio", 2002
$11.99 while for the first time in memory the least favorite wine, Chateau
Trbiac Graves Blanc, $9.99, was without a single vote.
The pairings with food was a great educational innovation.
