Attendees: Mark, Hank, Ray, Allison, Anthony, Darlene, Dan, Debby, Dan, Traci, Robert, A. David

 

A very good time!  Excellent meal.  Excellent wine.  Excellent company.  Lesson learned:  Don't let Traci touch your camera.

 

According to Mark's numbers, well here they are:

1  18
2  35
3  19

4  27
5  24.5
6  20.5

7  23 This flight was skewed as there are four players.
7A  38
8  31
9  28

10  18
11  31
12  23

 

These are the sums of each wines rankings from your ranking and scoring sheets for each flight.  Since there were 12 people, the best score a wine can get is 12, i.e, 12 number 1 votes.  But this is within the flight only and the results of the third flight with 4 wines doesn't make a very sensible comparison.  I leave the interpretation to the reader.

 

As might be expected, the CAs were much more ready to drink than Burgs.  But with time, most of these Burgundys will develop character.  The CAs will get a little better, but will drop off soon after they peak.
