Wining by proxy...Angeles Wine Agency/Jeff Welburn Selections...

The Goddess of Wine missed another great tasting, but luckily her hardy acolyte and staff writer, JD, was able to attend. The Goddess is sad that she couldn't taste these wines! Here's the report from JD:

March 26, 2013 - Angeles Wine Agency/Jeff Welburn Selections Spring 2013 Trade Tasting at Nic's Beverly Hills

Jeff Welburn is the Owner and President of AWA, and the Jeff Welburn Selections (JWS) are the French import section of AWA. AWA has a very broad portfolio of wines, foreign and west coast. There is something there for everyone. I’ll just hit some highlights.

On entering I was pleasantly greeted immediately, checked in and given a preprinted name tag. Picked up the program booklet and a glass and started in with a sampling of Rosés.

Wining at year's end...

JD & the Goddess
Hard to believe it's the last week of 2012. The Goddess of Wine and JD have gone to lots of wine tasting events, lots of dinners, lots of gatherings, lots of wineries. There has been good wine and bad wine - some astonishing in both directions - and a lot of drinkable, but ordinary wine. We've made new friends, said goodbye to some old friends, made discoveries both personal and professional.
