THE WWW GREAT CAB FRANC SHOWDOWN

Coming Monday, July 14th!!!  Stay tuned!!
The WWW Great Cab Franc Showdown was a smashing success and way too much fun!!!  We had 9 WWW present along with our ever faithful WineMan and Server Extraordinaire!!!!!  We gathered at Chateau Belangia, home of Char and Keith, with each of us bringing a bottle of Cab Franc and a goodie to share!  Let me say right now that we will certainly never go hungry at one of our gatherings!! (It happened only once at a pontoon boat event...it won't happen again!!!) 

Once all the wines were presented, they were each decanted and numbered by our wonderful WineMan Extraordinaire and man of the house, Keith!!!! 

 

Then, the great wine tasting began.  Char had printed up wine tasting papers for us so we could comment on the nose, color, taste, other tasting notes and finally, our rating of that wine.  The tasting was interspersed with munching on our great assortment of food,  much laughter and, of course, conversations about each wine!!

          

 Of course, every group has their

PHOTO BOMBERS!!!

 

After all 8 wines had been savored and enjoyed, we each picked our favorite and Keith adjourned to another room to tally up the results.  We had quite a variety of quality of  within the Cab Franc group.  The "better" wines ( which is really a matter of personal preference) did seem to rise to the top! 

And the winner was ................

 

The 2010 Rosemount Cab Franc

brought by Sheila!!

 
And another totally successful gathering of the WWW came to an end! While the tasting was wonderful, the afternoon was all about friendship and fellowship!  We are truly blessed!!

 "Good Friends, Good Times and Good Wine!"  (and a good man!!)

 

THANK, CHAR AND KEITH for your fine hospitality!!!

There is going to be a followup to this event.  Our August outing will be to the winning winery for some more tasting and good fun.

I encourage you to start your own chapter of Wild Women on Wine and hope you find the dear friends and good times we have had the good fortune to find!!

   CHEERS!!!   CLINK!!!!
