After a
dearth of public wine tasting opportunities, suddenly we had three within days
of each other. Wonderful opportunities to taste superb wines and to catch up

One cannot possibly attempt to taste more than a fraction of the wines available so one listens to others about what they have been tasting and what is worth trying, as well as finding wines that have won recent awards.
