Great to get everyone
together and thank you so much for making this a wonderful dinner!
Here is an updated list
that shows all wines and which was the favorite of each flight.
We enjoyed wines from
France, South Africa, California, Oregon and New Zealand, encompassing four
continents in both Northern and Southern hemispheres!
Interestingly, California
wines were the favorites in all three pinot noir flights. Two were from Sonoma County (Rochioli and
Martinelli) and one was from the Santa Barbara area (Paul Lato).
