It was a beautiful warm evening at Ed and Lisa’s gorgeous home and the food and cheese were spectacular. The California wines averaged $51 per bottle and managed to take 1st, 3rd, 7th and 8th. In comparison, the French wines averaged $90 per bottle and took 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th places. Everyone thought the wines were well chosen.
There was also informal guessing whether the wines were French or California. The 2020 Domaine Francois Carillon received only 3 votes, presumably it was more challenging to guess. but all 3 votes were wrong. In contrast, the 2019 Sandar & Hem “Bruzzone Vineyard” garnered 17 votes, of which 15 were correct. Overall, the French wines received 21 votes, of which 12 were correct. The California wines received 68 votes, of which only 35 were correct.
