    The September Report

    Naomi and Phil Benzil entertained and educated us at their home on September 12th. It turned out to be a beautiful day in a great outdoor setting. Phil provided an historical vignette of the Rothschild family from financing to wine entrepanurial-ship. After a warm up of Mouton Cadet White '02 BPR ($9.00 retail) the Rothschild Reds in order of preference were:

    • Chalone Syrah '01 USA ($29.99) - 15 votes

    • Cara Carbernet/Malbec '01 DPRL with Catena ($49.99) - 10 votes

    After these two carted off all of the votes, the remaining wines with prices were:

    • Los Vacos Cabernet '02 Chile DBRL $8.99

    • Rupert & Rothschild Classique '01 South Africa $19.99
    • Le Petit Mouton '01 France (Pauillac) BPR $74.99
    • Followed by a desert wine from Hungry, Royal Tokaji '96 at $32.99 (500 ml.).
    • Fine educational program by Phil with Naomi as an outstanding hostess.

    The October Tasting

    October 17th tasting will be at the Barbours (our gracious hosts earlier this year). Please call them by Wednesday, October 13th if you plan on coming so our hosts can make the necessary arrangements. Our wine host is the ever effervescent Leroy Stewart who will tells us about which of the "Seven Zins" he most enjoys.
