Present were:uncles Jimmy, Piroca, E, winepath and a new guest taster, uncle Ozi. Except the Pine Ridge, the wines were tasted blind, in the order shown below. This first bottle has fooled us all-we could not guess that this was an Amarone. Color of garnet and roses. A wonderful nose of quince jam, sweet rosehips, mandarin. Sweet taste (should have given this wine away), reminded uncle Piroca of Christmas. Winepath thought it had a long finish of violets, but it turned out that he had never eaten violets, so how did he know. This wine was, according to some, the best of four tasted. The scores varied somewhat: uncle Jimmy:3-; Piroca:3-; E: 3; uncle winepath: 4.
