<\/td>\nThe Theme<\/p>\n

Each couple is requested to bring two or three wines for a mystery flight. Good wines. Preferably really good wines. The wines should be related in some sense — year, vintner, grape, whatever — and should cause us to look brilliant or stupid, depending upon the quality of our guesses. In the end, the most important thing is that we end up really impressed by your good taste. Knock yourselves out!<\/p>\n

Results<\/p>\n

There were a lot of ties in the ratings, but the standout wine for me was Ron’s 1985 Chatea Latour.<\/p>\n
