Number 44 —\u00a0 August, 2002<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our Last Event<\/h1>\n

At our last tasting was the Syndicate’s first at Le Coq au Vin. They did a great job with the wine and food service, and we dawdled until after midnight outside on the patio. Favorite wine of the evening was overwhelmingly the 1976 BV Georges de La Tour Private Reserve. The 1971 Chateau Margaux was also a surprise, beating out the more highly regarded 1970 and 1979.<\/p>\n

Our Next Event<\/h1>\n

Our next event will be at 4:00PM Saturday, August 24th, at Emeril’s. We didn’t discuss this, but I propose that the dues for this event be $250 a person with the syndicate picking up the meal. Let me know if this is OK.<\/p>\n
