Lawyers and wine
Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2016 3:28 pm
Last night we had our annual party of about 50 lawyers, court clerks, a judge or two, court personnel, etc.
As usual, I brought the wine.
I brought 9 bottles, there wasn't a drop left by the end of the evening, even though there was lots of beer there as well.
I put on a presentation for some of the younger lawyers, we even had a half dozen assistant district attorneys there, the JimHow wine tasting is becoming an annual event, I think this is the sixth year in a row I have brought the wine.
2012 Vieux Telegraphe: Way too young, but opened up by the end of the night.
2012 La Fleur de Bouard: One of the favorites of the night, a couple of the young DAs said it was their favorite.
2014 St. Innocent Momtazi: Surprise, surprise, this was one of the wines of the night as well. So deliciously drinkable now!
2004 Malescot St. Exupery: Again, they didn't "get it" at first but, with air, it went down fast.
2012 Corbin: Tony Ferguson (who was on our France '15 trip) and I raised a glass of this forward, friendly wine in fond memory of our visit there last year.
2012 Felsina Berardenga Riserva: You really can't go wrong with a nice Chianti at an event like this.
2012 and 2005 Haut Bergey: Along with the 2012 Barde Haut, I opened these last after the first six were finished. These wines were splendid, crowd pleasers, I really had the crowd experiencing the chalk and stones and gravel.
2012 Barde Haut: I opened this last and, honest to goodness, it was emptied in like five minutes. This wine is really spectacular, especially for the $26 price.
A great end of year bash!
