Anyone else joining us?
I'm looking to open several of the older wines that I've been putting off. There should be a somewhat large range of types. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and a few Bordeaux blends. I have a few whites that I can open as well but I'm not sure what they are off hand. I believe some may be hit or miss depending on the bottle. I opened a bottle of a "Super Tuscan" this past Saturday and I think it would have been great 2 years ago. Now, not so much. I'm still about 20+ bottles over where I want to be though. So, if we have to toss a bottle or two it's no big deal.
What I need to know is...
Who of this group is interested in going to a local winery before we start?
We would need to leave the house about 3-3:30. We can hit 2 local wineries if we want since they are not too far from each other (15 mins). The tasting at the wineries costs nothing and you do not have to buy anything from them. Though I have no idea how someone can not pick up Silver Decoy's Red Raspberry or Blueberry wines after tasting them. Both are medal winners in the 2007 NJ wine competitions.
Anyone who wants to skip the wineries should arrive around 6. If you are taking a train in I suggest arriving on time.
Cheese, crackers and small munchie things will be served. Make sure you eat before hand or plan on ordering dinner with us.
As always, the hot tub will be open for some kicking back and relaxing.
Also, who is planning on staying over?
