It was a Battle
Royale! Our Pros vs. Josephines was a
rousing success, and our amateur women winemakers represented, yo!
Our thanks to Brittany
Altimus, Kevin Dering, and Ellen Barner for three wonderful wines. It was very difficult to tell the difference
between the professionally made wines and the homemade. Some of our experienced tasters shared
interesting tasting notes on all of the wines, and were suitably impressed with
the amateur efforts. Well done, ladies!
The wines were:
2012 Berringer Sauvignon
Blanc 10.99
2015 Cat-A-Tonic Sauvignon
Blanc Priceless
2015 Terra Vega Malbec 9.99
2015 W & B Wines Black
Cat Malbec Priceless
2013 Crane Lake Petite
Sirah 6.99
2015 Issus des Caves de
Dering Petite Sirah Priceless
A special thanks to Terry
Germanoski, Bev Wise, and Kevin and Bob Dering for hosting last evening, and
provided some wonderful accompaniments to the wines!
