Were these blind Mel? Results are all over the place as I would expect from a blind tasting. I haven’t had many of those but the 00 Bone Rock has been outstanding for me.

3

Yes, blind tasting with a wide range of tasters…

4

Was St Cosme their Cote Rotie?

5

Yes, I fixed the list.

Also poured blind was a Barrel sample of the Jemrose Grenach
next to the SQN into the dark and the Jemrose held it’s own…


Oh, yea the second place winner popped and poured his bottle of 2005 Chave [drinks.gif]

Wow, I can’t imagine a Dehlinger doing well in that line-up. Just not a style for everyone.
