A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This is a wine we had at NEB#1, which was hosted by Pax at his wnry in Forestville. Also in attendance was AdamLee/EmilioCastelli/KenMusso/Pax's asst winemaker, and myself. Susan chose to not hang w/ the wine geeks and hiked the trail along the nearby creek. Afterwards, we adjourned to Emilio's for more Nebbs and a great Porcini Risotto. Little did we know this was the start of something big (?).
