It was a lot of fun for us. Thanks for organizing, Barry, and thanks to everyone for bringing cool wines to try, I really enjoyed them all. My wine of the afternoon was probably Jon’s Jura Chardonnay, I loved the sherry-like notes, fascinating as I never thought a Chard could taste like that. Overall it was just really great to put faces to names and meet others who love wine. A group of us shared an uber back to dtla afterward and ended up opening a few more bottles at dlee’s rooftop which was fun as well.
The backroom setup at Water Grill was great, I really enjoyed the food and the service was overall good. We’ll have to do another one at the dtla Water Grill, maybe sometime in May?
Yeah, I had a great time as well. It was nice to meet everyone. I enjoyed all of the wines, especially the Jura and the Hidden Ridge cab. Thank you Barry for putting it together. The room was perfect and was an incredible value.
Wow, that was a lot of fun!!! (Thanks cfu and other vets for the advice!)
We ended up getting the private back-room at Water Grill Santa Monica and it was the perfect atmosphere to appreciate wine and camaraderie over the ensuing hours!

David did a wonderful job ordering some food to go along with our wine. Our wine line-up for the afternoon was as follows (in order of serving)
