Vertical Tasting

Last night the boyfriend and I went to Gray Ghost Winery for a vertical wine tasting. We got all dressed up because it was black tie optional. Neither of us have tuxes so we wore coats and ties. A vertical wine tasting is when you get to taste several different vintages of one wine. Last night we were able to taste 10 years of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Gray Ghost wine library. None of the wines are currently for sale to the public. We tasted Cabernet Sauvignons from 1993 through 2002. While tasting the wines we had a wonderful dinner. It was cool to compare and contrast the wines from different years. I decided the 1993, the 1995, the 2000, and the 2002 were the best vintages. The boyfriend had different choices because we enjoy different characteristics of wine. We had a wonderful evening enjoying the wines and the foods and the other people sitting at our table. Below is a picture of us when we got home from the tasting. We had planned to take a picture of us all dressed up but it didn’t work out. So here we are at the end of the evening.
