Yesterday was the Sixth Annual Philadelphia Wine Festival -- an event made up of at least a hundred producers pouring multiples wines. In short, if someone was willing to pay the fee, they could try a lot of great wines, or just get really hammered. I tried to steer a course between the two options.
Some of the more interesting moments of the night? I ran into a co-worker and her husband, and spent the evening running into them again as we exchanged recommendations of producers to try. Also, after visiting the Silver Oak table, I saw three girls get generous pours only to discard them quickly (they didn't like the distinctive oak flavors). Oh, and I was able to try a Mouton-Rothschild and a Penfolds Grange (however, it was funny to watch other attendees pass the Mouton-Rothschild table for the Chaddsford table). So, no complaints.
