The stage was set for a red wine showdown this past
Saturday night at the Johnson house. We had many
formidable contenders all armed with dangerously exciting
red wines and packing serious heat…….or wine glasses I
should say. The competition was fierce, but in the end it was
Ted Domitrovich’s 1997 Berringer Alluvium that came out
on top and put Ted in the money!
I want to say thank you for all that participated, it was a lot
of fun and I want to say a special thank you to Forest for
bringing all the extra wine we opened before the contest
started. Here is a list of wines that were brought to the event:
