Wine, wine and more wine!

Chad and I had tickets to the first annual red wine tasting at Olivia's Wines!
What a fun time!!  There was 26 bottles of wines total...each over $75. 

The most expensive wine on the list retailed at $525!!  This was the 2005 Penfolds Grange, which is mostly Shiraz.  This was quite good, but surprisingly, it wasn't our favorite.

Our favorite was the 2007 Numanthia Termanthis...a Tempranillo.  It was the second most expensive bottle there...$250.

 

A close second...if not a tie for first...was the 2005 Pine Ridge Fortis.  This is a Cab Sav blend that was a bit more affordable at $200.  Ha!  Too bad this will be the last time drinking these wines.  There's no way we can afford to purchase them.

This was a great opportunity to try wines that we would never be able to try!  I wish we would have had the stamina to try them all, but we only made it about half-way through the list.  Ha!  Here's Chad and I with the proprietor of Olivia's Wines, Rick.  He definitely knows how to throw a good party!

 

Good times with good friends!  Thanks, Ashley & Chad, for coming with us.  We were so happy to spend time with the both of you before Chad heads out to serve our country!  Cheers!
