The Wages of Syn <\/strong><\/h1>\n

This tasting gives us a rare opportunity to sample some of the world\u2019s best efforts over the last half century all in one \u201cSynful\u201d evening!\u00a0 The theme of this tasting will be \u201cThe Best of the Best\u201d.\u00a0 Since the Syndicate cellar\u2019s 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.\u00a0 The prices listed are current auction prices (about \u00bd of retail) which would be paid by the Syndicate – Al, please independently verify that these prices are fair to the group.\u00a0 The wines (drum roll please) are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This tasting will be at Disney\u2019s Contemporary Resort\u2019s California Grill, Saturday, July 27 at 3 PM.<\/strong>\u00a0 Dinner will be served at 4:45 PM, and we will have the room until 7 PM.\u00a0 To be honest, we don\u2019t have the menu nailed down as of this writing – George hasn\u2019t let us down yet though so it will be a surprise.\u00a0 We originally were thinking of pairing these wines with food, but it seems a crime to mess with perfection.\u00a0 Hence, the first 6 will be poured in the order listed prior to dinner – the Ch. d\u2019Yquem\u00a0 will follow dessert.<\/p>\n
