I purchased the 3 wines poured at the recent White House State Dinner for King Charles III and Queen Camilla:
Iām going to try to reprise the dinner with friends (weāll see how that goes!). So, I purchased 3 btls of each: 1 to evaluate and 2 for the dinner. The Penner-Ash and the Newton are now resting comfortably in my cellar; the Hopkins is on its way via UPS.
Very cool idea!
Still organizing. Weāll see how this turns out! The menu looks doable.
01 Yquem (hopefully finally done for awhile with this)
Channeling my inner-@Rich_Brown self, granted the better looking sideā¦
