  6. Just had a Joie 2007 Muscat (Okanagan Valley). 11% alc., close to perfection with lamb vindaloo.
  7. Our NW Cab judging is all wrapped up. Some surprises at the top. Some not. Thanks to Clover Island Inn in Kennewick, WA, for hosting us.
  8. Now in second half of our NW Cab judging. Judges are being fair, generous, with 15% or so earning equivalent of gold medals.
  9. @Salmondave2 The results will go into our Fall issue. Takes a bit of time to collate, write up, etc.
