Wine Tasting Heaven




We hosted the 2nd annual Wine Tasting at our house last night and it was a blast. We had a pretty good turnout (19 winos in attendance) and I think everyone had a good time. Jeff and I supplied the tasties and each friend brought a wine to taste. I had gone by Woodman's Grocery a few days prior and picked out a couple of fun ones to try; Bitch wine (cute pink label), House Wine (generic white label with black text), and Menage' a Trois (needs no explanation). I went with the names alone on my picks. The wines inside the bottles weren't bad too. Some of the treats I prepared were a cheese sampling of 10 cheeses, chocolate covered strawberries, roast beef and turkey tea sandwiches, Oreo balls, and some other goodies. Yum!
We gave out prizes to the best red (Escudo Rojo), best white (Wollershiem' s Prairie Fume') , and best bottle presentation (Pacific Rim Dry Riesling).
I think it was a success and everyone had a blast trying to locate that wine of choice. There were about 20 or so to taste and enjoy.
