Our annual wine tasting party was last night, and it was another success! Ian fixed some fabulous food and we had a great selection of wines. I’ll send this out to the evite list as well, but here is the list of entries and those that won. Thanks to Chris for the good idea to write all this down. I always intend to but forget. I actually did throw away the card with the vote tallies saying which were the winners, but Ian took pictures of all the winners with their bottles so I was able to zoom in on the pictures and see which bottles won!
