SWAT Holiday Tasting
I have a group of friends much like Dale's SOBER group who get
together a few times a year to share wine. We do a lot of charity work and all have cellars deep with fun stuff. I took no formal notes but jotted down a few impressions as this get together is more social than anything but WOW.
