<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks to both David Abeshouse and Paul Napolitano for organizing and hosting the 2<sup>nd</sup> annual [virtual] wine tasting event last night.&nbsp; Despite my ability to tie a bowtie, my wine knowledge &#8211; and palate &#8211; is/are somewhat
 limited.&nbsp; This is not to suggest that I drink Gallo or &#8211; shudder &#8211; Thunderbird, but I like what I like, and I don&#8217;t really know much beyond what I like.&nbsp; Nonetheless, events such as this are so much fun to both experience wines that I&#8217;d probably not otherwise
 purchase or drink, and to know something new about each wine.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I would recommend to anyone that they plan on attending next year&#8217;s event, which hopefully &#8211; hopefully &#8211; will be in person!<o:p></o:p></p>
