Nice pics Mel - thanks for sharing them. Looks like a great event.
I notice from the pics that the Macks were there with 07 barrel samples - did you get to try any of them?

Cheers,

Salil

I tried the Jemrose wines and while they are certainly in the Michael Browne style, there is about 30% whole cluster, so a nice spice/herb component was evident.

Nice photos Mel.

I had a Foxen this weekend, and it was not pleasing. Heat, not any Syrah character that I could find, etc. I can't recall the vineyard or vintage, but I thought Foxen was among the moderate clan for that area. Have they moved to the dark side?

Next year, I am going for sure! Kicking myself for missing it. Grrrr. Thanks for posting!

Jeez, Mel. Any idea who this is? I know a lot about Rhone-style wines and I'd be willing to personally educate her over dinner, a movie, anything.

Yes, that would be Lorraine Alban's, cousin's girlfriend who was visiting from Ireland.
