It all started with a dinner party. You know, the kind our parents used to have. The six of us sat under the shade of our giant tree. Each couple brought a bottle of wine, and a discussion about the amazing attributes of wine ensued. It was so enjoyable we immediately made plans for our next gathering. Years later we still meet once a month for a friendly wine competition. It has evolved . . . now we create gourmet meals and pair it with some of the most incredible wine I've ever tasted.
