October Gathering of The Wino's

Sunday, October 18, 2009

This month's gathering of the wino's theme was "Wines From Navarra & La Mancha, Spain"

The host's went all out and made Paella for the crowd. It was excellent and not much was left. Everyone seemed to enjoy this food dish. Remy really went out and cooked an excellent main dish. The appetizers and desserts were good also. People seemed to make a little bit more effort to bring food that had a Spanish influence to them.

There were 32 bottles of wine on the table. A few duplicates but I was surprised that the "wino's" on the most part went out of their way to get wines from these districts. I would say 95% of the wines were good. A few clunkers.

A good time was had by all, good food, good wine and good friends. It doesn't get better than that.

Looking forward to next months gathering. A 9 year vertical of McKeon-Phillips BVP Cabernet.
