Had a wine tasting at the house on Saturday.  I think a good time was had by all.  No one wanted to break out the Beatles Rock Band, though.  Mary had a great menu and others brought wines to match.  Pasta with an heirloom tomato sauce, rosemary shrimp with arugula salad, pork tenderloin with blackberry sauce, prime rib, and dark chocolate with dark chocolate cupcakes.  Excellent!

Many  years ago, riding back from Fort Hood, TX with my battalion commander, Bill (different Bill), he was discussing wanting to do some winetasting.  He suspected whether he would be invited to join, so he had thought about starting his own.  I stuck up my hand and said, “We’ll do it.”  Now nine plus years later, the group still gets together for some socializing and, of course, some wine.  On Saturday, someone estimate that we had perhaps tried around 500 different wines through the years.  Wow.
