BYOB Tasting

Kathleen and I attended our first wine Meet-up event Tuesday night, it was a BYOB “bring your own bottle” tasting. The event was held in Greenville SC in the loft at Sobys, this is one of the best venues for a wine tasting. The loft has beautiful hard wood floors and exposed brick walls, adorned with art and memorabilia. Dignitaries such as Hillary Clinton and John McCain have stayed here when they were campaigning in the area.

The event was hosted by the Meet-up CWO (Chief Wine Officer) Richard Peck and his wife Susan. As the members arrived they were welcomed with an opening glass of wine, which was a Naked Chardonnay from Australia. We had a great turn out of around 40 attendees and quite a few great wines for tasting of both red and wine varieties.

Wines I really enjoyed:

2006 Schug Pinot Noir

2004 Bodega Sur de Los Andes Bonarda

1995 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon

We are looking very forward to more events like this to come!

Cheers,

Erik
