Tasting #15 (04/01/11) ~ April Fools

Hosted by: Jason & Andrea

Attended by (15): Jason, Andrea, Rich, Debby, Dan, Tad, Kim, Andy, Sarah, Kris, Jon, Abbey, Tiffany, Alex, Scott

Theme: In the spirit of April Fools Day, the attendees where asked to bring a wine in an attempt to "trick" the others as to what it really was. Each person blindly tasted each wine while trying to guess the grape and region. The big winner was Abbey (the pregnant one!), go figure!
