Couples Wine Tasting Celebrating Valentine's Day

Saturday February 11, 2012 was the 4^th Wine Social of the Season for the Grand Lake Ladies Club and The Cinco Ranch Ladies Club; the 1^st for the year 2012. As this was so close to Valentines Day, our hostess Claire Wakeman decided to make it a couple’s Wine Tasting.

Claire is an awesome hostess; she has had other wine socials and had a terrific Holiday party. People were asked to wear something red as we were celebrating Valentines Day.

The couples were asked to bring 2 bottles of their favorite champagne or wine and a small appetizer to share. There was so much good food and wine. My favorite appetizers were the chicken meatballs, stuffed grape leaves and the lamb chops that the host made on the grill. They were so good. My favorite wines were a Mumm Sparkling Red Wine, Veuve Clicquot and a South African Cabernet. They were many great wines there it was hard to choose. Some one cleared away the South African Wine Cabernet before I could get a hold of it for more specifics as to what winery it came from.

This was a really fun tasting with many people and lots to eat and drink.
