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.

The annual picnic is set for July 25th, 2 p.m. at the Grillons. Bring your family, chairs, bathing suits, tennis rackets, a dish for the table and some vin to share. Cost will probably be $5.00 per adultl as in the past. See directions on the back.
