A mid-year annual tasting of mostly frequent flyers, but the event stepped up over the years (ask Dan). We do have about 20-24 listed now, and we can grow up to about 30. I thought it would be nice to see some fellows from the wine side stepping in as well. Great Greek place, many bubbles and bubbles, and good times.
Postscript- mother nature limited the arrival, but 13 brave people made it through the obstacles. We served fewer wines than last year, but those were berserkerable wines, indeed!
