A week ago, JD and I had the great fortune to participate in another of LearnAboutWine's fabulous Friday night wine events. This one was titled 'An Offer You Can't Refuse!' and featured Bay Cities' Godmother sandwiches and 20 terrific Italian wines - tasted blind - to accompany them. Ian always puts together a diverse selection of wines for his tastings and this one did not disappoint.
We arrived early to help set up the tables and prepour the wines. 2010 Sommelier of the Year (Southern California Restaurant Writers Association), Jared Hooper, was on hand to do the pouring as we placed the precious glasses on the appropriate spaces on the numbered place mats.
