\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our Last Event<\/h1>\n

It should have been called “The Wine Syndicate cooks for a hundred.” The food was delish — if over-abundant. The favorite wines were 1970 Ch. Lafite Rothschild, 1998 Stony Hill Chardonnay and 1978 Ch. Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Our Next Event<\/h1>\n

Our next event will be at 4:00PM Saturday, April 19th, at The Alcorns’.
\nThe theme of this event is \u00a0<\/span>“Scavenger Hunt!<\/strong>“<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

Your assignment is to bring the following:<\/p>\n

Note: Your wine doesn’t need to match your food.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alcorn<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

A California white wine (or possibly salad dressing) from before World War II, and a hunk o’ beef.<\/p>\n

Chaney<\/span><\/h3>\n

A bottle of wine with a label that the mice found particularly tasty, and a Habanera or Jalapeno flavored food that isn’t hot at all (riiiiiight).<\/p>\n

Clausen<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

A pair of sparkling wines made by the same people from two different continents, and a vegetable that can be spelled using only letters in the phrase “needs balsamic vinaigrette”.<\/p>\n

Crocket<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

A wine from Virginia that is actually drinkable (this may be a toughie), and a salad made only of things containing the letter ‘U’.<\/p>\n

Gane<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

A wine whose name contains every possible vowel, and 14 Idaho baking potatoes.<\/p>\n

Henline<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

A Burgundy without a hyphen, article or abbreviation in the name, and a fruit compote made only from things that grow on bushes.<\/p>\n

Robinson<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

A dessert wine and a dessert that rhyme (or that you can convince us rhyme by the end of the meal).<\/p>\n

Siegel<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

A wine with the greatest possible disparity between the Parker and the Wine Spectator ratings, and a cheese from someplace other than North America and Europe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
