There was a terrible Merlot, but I didnt write down name. Somehow I thought someone said it was Pinot Project, but that makes no sense.

Fun night, though I would have preferred if there wasnt a downpour during walk home

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
