April's tasting took us to Barb and Bill Browns for a tasting of
"big reds", featuring "Cabs in a bag". Geography
was featured with only a few of us naming the country or state of
origin. After a warm-up of Charles Shaw (California at $9.99) the
rest in order of preference were:
Spain -Grim Oastellflorit, Penedes ($9.99
Washington- Sagelands, Columbia Valley ($14.95)
California ~ Gallo, Sonoma ($11.99)
Maryland ~ Elk Run, Liberty Tavern ($24.50)
Argentina ~ Coco Drillo, Mendoza ($14.99)
AustraIia- Twin Beaks ($9.99)
Thanks to the Browns as both house and wine hosts with a great
tasting both informative and fun.
