a warm afternoon in Woodland Hills ...
|
|
 |
... a collection of wine bottles - red and white ...
|
|
 |
... let the tasting begin!
|
|
 |
better have something to eat as well!
|
|
 |
serious business - even commandeered the ping-pong table!
|
|
 |
Irma takes a food break while Wendy helps with the pouring
|
|
 |
Sharon and Linda - tasters extraordinaire!
|
|
 |
as darkness falls, Linda is declared winner of the Sauvignon Blancs with a nice little number from Oak Leaf Vineyards!
|
|
 |
Steve Handshaw wins second with his 2008 Zarafa Sauv - (actually Graham was second with Cloudy Bay 2006 from New Zealand, but the host can't win!)
|
|
 |
and Susan was third with Chateau St Michelle Horse Heaven (2007) Sauv.
|
|
 |
the happy Sauv winners, with a little help from Brett!
|
|
 |
Graham announces the Zin winners
|
|
 |
eight whites and thirteen reds were sampled in all - almost a bottle a person!
|
|
 |
Linda keeps the tally
|
|
 |
tasters check their scores
|
|
 |
'I can't believe I didn't win' sentiments!
|
|
 |
everyone is so relaxed and happy - I wonder why!
|
|
 |
the tension mounts as the red winner announcement approaches - well, kind of!
|
|
 |
meanwhile Dennis is on the phone to his wine store demanding his money back for a loser!
|
|
 |
Irma figures Charlotte's accounting must be wrong!
|
|
 |
Miyuki is too relaxed to care!
|
|
 |
I guess we are not in a ping pong mood!
|
|
 |
Charlotte, our master accountant, takes a break from the numbers game with Bob!
|
|
 |
hey, at this point who cares who won!
