Berserkerfest 10.2 photo thread!!

ALL TIME greatest tasting note:

Me: So you liked the 2009 Saxum James Berry from Magnum
Gawain: Yes, great fruit, great balance, great wine making, etc. etc.
Me: What’s the oldest wine you ever had.
Gawain: uh, 19sixty uh . . .
Me: (interrupting) let me fix that
Me: (After leaving for a few minutes and handing him a small cordial glass with about an ounce in it) Here, try this.
Gawain: Gushes about amazing flavors and aromas. Citrus, Caramel, Nuts, etc.
Me: So you like it?
Gawain: Yes, it’s amazing.
Me: 1922 Madeira, opened 7 years ago for my mother’s 90th Birthday. We saved a few ounces for her 100th, but she didn’t make it.
Gawain: (Who happens to be the local Episcopal Priest who runs a low impact $20 price point wine group at the church that occasionally generates Bogle and KJ variants) “If we had this wine for communion, I would have all the parishioners in White Plains.”

So I put it in the photo, although only two people actually got to taste it. I will post a better photo later, when the sun moves in the sky and I can play with it more.

Hmm, I see a maggie of Baudry . . . .

Jay has some ‘splaining!

There was a mag of Baudry, which I did not taste last night. Half of it was left in the bottle this morning. I put it in the refrigerator for now and I will report back later today. The Saxum 2009 James Berry Magnum that someone brought was OUTSTANDING. I am going outside not to arrange the bottles for a photo to post but that will take a while, because there are a lot of them spread over the back yard.

I got to the 2009 Baudry Grezeaux late but it was really,good. I’d still hold for at least 5 years though.

The 04 Alban Seymours was incredible, a great way to start off the event!

WTF? I missed might have missed that.

The Port was opened with Port Tongs, hence the missing top of the bottle.

35 lbs of beef and 14 gallons of wine and only his wife to share it with. SAD!

[J_a_y_H_a_c_k]

No group photo?

I have lots more photos with other people but I was cooking and serving food for 8 hours so I’m a bit tired. There are people photos that I will post after I finish washing 75 wine glasses and about 200 prices of cutlery. Hooray. No plastic utensils were killed,in the making of this movie.

A couple more … c’mon guys, I know I wasn’t the only one that took snaps
