Aug 5: Red Burgundy, Donner Lake

A grand time was had at the home of John Henry and Sue in Tahoe Donner.  The original plan was to have the tasting on the shore of Donner Lake and then listen to an outdoor concert, but that plan was washed away by the mid-afternoon showers.  So after deciding to move it inside their home about 10 miles away, they needed to transport folding tables and plastic chairs and then rearrange the living room furniture to accommodate the one large table.  Fortunately, everything seemed to work out fine.  Plus there was the added bonus of a pool table and dance floor which were put to ample use.

It looks like these folks had a little too much wine!
