The Wages of Syn

This tasting gives us a rare opportunity to sample some of the world’s best efforts over the last half century all in one “Synful” evening!  The theme of this tasting will be “The Best of the Best”.  Since the Syndicate cellar’s inventory has been structured for breadth in certain wines as opposed to obtaining singular stellar bottles, we have raided the Alcorn cellar for this event.  The prices listed are current auction prices (about ½ of retail) which would be paid by the Syndicate – Al, please independently verify that these prices are fair to the group.  The wines (drum roll please) are:

This tasting will be at Disney’s Contemporary Resort’s California Grill, Saturday, July 27 at 3 PM.  Dinner will be served at 4:45 PM, and we will have the room until 7 PM.  To be honest, we don’t have the menu nailed down as of this writing – George hasn’t let us down yet though so it will be a surprise.  We originally were thinking of pairing these wines with food, but it seems a crime to mess with perfection.  Hence, the first 6 will be poured in the order listed prior to dinner – the Ch. d’Yquem  will follow dessert.
