Number 14 —\u00a0 March, 1995<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blind Pairs<\/h1>\n

This was a fun format, I thought.\u00a0 And yes, it was too easy.\u00a0 We\u2019ll correct that this next time!\u00a0 What a great bunch of wines, though.\u00a0 My two highlights:<\/p>\n

The Haut Brion Blanc, which was a disappointment when poured so cold, but after an hour showed why it was a show-stopper at Ariel\u2019s.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To be reminded that there\u2019s nothing like d\u2019Yquem..<\/p>\n

Upcoming Events<\/h1>\n

Our next tasting will be at the Portobello Yacht Club, Saturday, April 8th, 1995 at 4:30<\/span>\u00a0p.m.<\/strong>\u00a0 The theme will be \u201cBlind Flights\u201d, and will consist of the following wines, served blind.\u00a0 Hints will be provided.\u00a0 A bottle of wine will be awarded for the person who identifies the most wines from a list of possibilities.\u00a0 If you want to do some homework, here are your choices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
