By all accounts, our tasting of wines from all producers of Charbono was a success! Wines were from included On The Edge, Pacific Star, Heitz, Robert Foley, Joseph Laurence, Duxoup, August Briggs, Summers Estate, Turley, Tofanelli, Schrader, Fortino Vineyard and Boeger Vineayrds Here are some accounts from people there:

Member Paul Zimmerman, aka Dr. Z, puts a sports spin on the event. Former NFL Coach Dick Vermeil attended the lunch as the owner of OnTheEdge winery in Napa. Be sure to check out this write up of our lunch on SI.com.

Guest Jeremy Parzen calls Charbono “a rustic-tasting, tannic, but fruity and food-friendly grape” in his summary on his blog Do Bianchi.

Guest Gabe Sasso also has extensive notes over on his blog, Gabe’s View.

Prospective member Jennifer Frank also wrote up the event on her blog, Drink the Good Stuff.

Also, WMG member John Mariani wrote a piece for Bloomberg in part based on our April Petit Sirah tasting.
