Wine: Wines to Match the Cuisine
This month, only half of our regular members were able to make the tasting.
Doug agreed to host a tasting anyway with a bit of a twist.
We would do a dinner instead with each person bringing
some food and a wine to match.
It was a lot of fun!

Wine: Kathy's Pre-Birthday Party
We did not have our typical tasting as no one had signed up for September.
Instead, Kathy threw a pre-birthday party at
Hollywood Wine & Espresso.
Each person was asked to bring a dish based on a recpie that
Kathy sent to them.
This was fun! The foods were fabulous!
These recipes and more can be found at Kathy's recipe site
Great Recipes
Kathy provided five wines for the evening.
They were:
Norton Torrentes (Argentina)
Clean Slate Riesling (Germany)
2 UP Shiraz (Australia)
Ten Mile - a red blend (California)
Unico (Chile)
Others bought bottles as the evening went on.

Wine: Wines to Match Thanksgiving Dinner
Doug came up with the idea that each team should bring wines
