Sampling sixty bottles of wine. I need to preface this with the statement that I am not a oenologist or even enjoy (gasp) wine as much as I like the taste of a good martini, but this was a engaging goal to celebrate with friends. Toasts and victories were all made possible with homemade brews from my neighbor, Roger, to fine Italian and French wines selected by husband (who loved this goal), Rob. Actually the California wines and a few Wisconsin wines were pleasant surprises and a treat for my palette.
There are a massive number of books written about wines featuring tips on tasting, identifying the differences, and picking the best wine for every occasion. I guess my palette is rather unsophisticated, but I did enjoy the camaraderie of sampling each bottle with my ever helpful friends.
So, cheers to the end of this goal and bottoms up!
