WINESAVER RED WINE TASTING SET

Hello:

The first WineSaver red wine tasting is set for Memorial Weekend! Four couples will come together, each bringing one bottle per person of red wine that retails for under $25.

I'll be grilling steak and Dorianne will be preparing a cheese plate for openers and doing some special veggies to go with the steak, and making a special dessert.

Each participant has been asked to bring a "special find" inexpensive wine (the less expensive the better) to share. So after the tasting, I'll be writing for a day or two and giving you up to eight great WineSaver red wine finds! Look for the entries after Memorial Weekend.

Each couple brings quite a bit of experience with wine, so it should be quite and event. The WineSaver white wine tasting will be scheduled around the 4th of July. Seafood will definately be on the menu.

I notices that Eric Asimov, the NY Times wine columnist recently wrote about purchasing a case of wine, based on the advice of a couple of wine experts, for new wine drinkers. Check the link at http://thepour.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/04/10/.

The idea is to create a case of wine to give a new drinker the experience of a number of types of wines, then, based on your response to the first case, create a second case. Sounds like a great idea - maybe the Wine Saver should repeat the exercise with budget wines.

Until next time.
