Despite my ability to tie a bowtie, my wine knowledge – and palate – is/are somewhat limited. This is not to suggest that I drink Gallo or – shudder – Thunderbird, but I like what I like, and I don’t really know much beyond what I like. Nonetheless, events such as this are so much fun to both experience wines that I’d probably not otherwise purchase or drink, and to know something new about each wine.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I would recommend to anyone that they plan on attending next year’s event, which hopefully – hopefully – will be in person!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>BRS<o:p></o:p></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style='border-collapse:collapse'><tr style='height:31.5pt'><td width=638 valign=top style='width:6.65in;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;height:31.5pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:-4.5pt'><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt;color:#003F5E'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:-4.5pt'><b><span style='font-size:16.0pt;color:#003F5E'>Bruce R.
