A reminder that January's Virtual Tasting takes place tonight and is the Columbia Crest Grand Estates Merlot 2006. As mentioned in my original post, we will be doing a poor man's vertical and trying the 2005, 2004 and perhaps 2003 so don't worry if you find an older vintage on the shelves. As usual, I will be opening the bottle about 7pm and I will be looking to get my notes up by 9pm. Please join us in trying this wine and posting your notes. Read more about the virtual tasting here.
