Monthly SAWG Gathering

Sunday, October 21, 2007

This was the monthly gathering of the "winos". Today's theme was " California sparkling wines from French houses and a red wine that you would drink with a meat lasagna. Naturally meat lasagna was the main dish. The red wines turned out to be quite a selection, mostly Italian but others from California, Argentina and Germany. A few of the stand outs were 2000 Cersi Chianti Classico, 2001 Querceto Chianti Classico, 2001, Poggio Barbaresco-Foggio Le Coste and a 2003 Marchesi di Barolo.

There were 5 bottles of sparking brought and 1 bottle of Tattinger Brut Champage which did not conform to the theme as it was from France not California. But it was the first bottle bubbly to be finished. All together there were 24 bottles of wine opened that day.
