The 49th annual Cellar Society repast was another great success. A total of 44 people attended (28 members, 5 preferred guests, and 11 regular guests). Thanks are due to a lot of people. First and foremost Ed Coyne for organizing it with the assistance of his guest Lisa Long who made up the announcement, and Beth DeAtley for making the venue possible. Thanks also to Steve Smith and the rest of the wine committee for selecting wines which where generally acknowledged as being some of the best ever served at a Repast, particularly the 2001 Bordeaux (which we bought for $70/bottle in 2005 and currently sells for $150/bottle). And lastly to Chef Hans Wiegand for preparing the wonderful meal and coming out and socializing with us while we were enjoying it.
