“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.” – JRR Tolkien

Wine tasting this Sunday at 6 p.m. Thirteen different reds.
 
Beer Club t-shirts are in. Time to drink some good beer. Should have a nice surprise tomorrow.
  
  Flying Dog Beers on tap and in bottles
 
Diane has ordered the t-shirts. Some lucky and determined people will some be sporting them.
  The Baristas Beer Club T-Shirt is moving at our usual glacial pace but we've been bumped by our artist in residence, Sami Ternyik. As usual, she's come up with a work of genius.

 

 

 

Hold my beer and watch this: 
 
 
 
 
 
Sixteen of Barista's esteened testers filed reports on the flight of 10 dry white wines.  Here's what we liked:
 
Fifth place:  Kunde Estate Grown Chardonnay 2007, Sonoma County, California; $17.99.
 
Fourth place:  Spier Sauvignon Blanc Private Collection 2006, Stellenbosch, South Africa; $19.99  (It's rare for us to like South African wines.)
 
Third place:  Excelsior Chardonnay 2009, South Africa; $9.99 (What? A second South African wine at the same tasting?)
 
Second place:  Courtney Benham Gewürztraminer 2008, Mendocino County, California; $8.99, the cheapest wine of this flight.  (Maybe we should seek more of these?)
 
First place:  Pat & Hall Chardonnay, Napa Valley, California; $39.99; the most expensive wine of this flight.  (Overwhelmingly the favorite; but how do we explain the second place wine at less than a quarter of this price?)
 
Pat Wobig pegged Tester-of-the-Month, and called for Chardonnays on Sunday, August 1st.
