As a group, we decided that all of the wines in this tasting were good but none were great.
We preferred the more expensive wines this time, and didn't like the Kabinett wines
(made from grapes with lower sugar content) as well as the others.

* The Price reflects the club discount for non-sale wines purchased at
Kappy's Liquors
in Sudbury and Wine Cellars of Silene in Waltham. Any purchases at the club price
must be coordinated through me.
+ The Score represents the average rating of the group at this tasting, on
a scale from 50 to 100. We each assign a value of 0-4 for appearance, 0-6 for aroma, 0-6
for flavor and 0-4 for our overall impression resulting in a total score from 0-20. These
are averaged, the result is multiplied by 2.5 and then 50 is added. The resulting 50-100
scale is the same range used by Wine Spectator
though their process may be different.
