What a lovely nose you have, my dear! Ms. Wolfgram & Ms. Finnell are at it again, along with their legions of fellow winos, this time exploring the delightful nuances of wine as it graces the nose and palate. In our first-ever "live" group tasting, we'll be sampling Greystone Cellars Chard & Root 1 Cab Sauv, both of which can be purchased at wine.com, though you may find them in your local watering hole, as well. Either way, pour yourself a glass - well, two...nnHere's to life!
