March 08 Wine Club meeting: Red Meritage

The March 08 Wine Club Meeting was held on Good Friday at Melissa and Joe's Home in Naples. The theme was Red Meritage. All the wines were very, very good! It was hard work to try and decide which ones were better than others. The Trinchero and the Dry Creek were slightly ahead by just a few points. Our hosts did an outstanding job with with an amazing array of Hors d'Oeuvres and the CorkDork was busy at the grill preparing 2 whole sides of Atlantic Salmon. The evening was capped off by a trip down to Fifth Avenue for some dancing and perhaps more libations... like we needed more....
