This month's soriee's theme was Zinfandel's and Champagnes/Sparkling's. Always heavy red wines in August. Fortunately the weather was a bit cooler than normal but I still did not taste any of the Zinfandel's. Probably should have tasted a few of the older wines but frankly the set up made for bottlenecks getting to the table. By time I finished the sparkling's I had no desire to make my way through the crowd again.
A lot of appetizers and side dishes were brought but not one dessert, Now watch and at next months meeting there will be loads of desserts. I was satisfied nibbling on the appy's and I did forgo dinner. The host made some sort of brisket and as usual it was way over cooked for my taste.
The wines were a nice assortment - I only tasted the sparklings so I have no opinion of the reds at all.
