2017 San Martino

We celebrated San Martino on November 18th, with a dinner dance and our annual wine judging contest.  In addition Alessandro and Dina Maiatico celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with as.

Our wine judging contest.   We had twelve entries, although it appears one of the vintners had a hand in two of the submissions.  As usual we took volunteers for judges from the event attendees.  The judging is done by sampling the wines in a random order, without the judges being aware of who made each wine.  They score each wine on a scale of 1 to 10, showing a score card to Mary who tabulates the results.  They are not allowed to share their scores with each other.  The wines were available afterwards for anyone to sample.
