We started by tasting over a dozen Long Island Pink Wines…but, much to my (pleasant) surprise, members of the LENNDEVOURS tasting panel demanded some red wines the next time around!

Who am I to object?

That’s right…I’m no one. The people have spoken!

The first event, with a over dozen people, was a bit of a logistical nightmare in our little beach bungalow of house, so this event is being scaled down…way down.

In fact, we’re cutting it in half. We have seven people coming Saturday night at 6 p.m. For those of you not coming to this round, fear not. I’m hoping to make this an almost monthly occurance.

Rather than force Long Island wines down everyone’s throats, I’ve proposed a simple theme — bring one red wine you know you like and one you’ve never had before.

One you like. One you might.

We’re still in the "Wine Tasting 101" stage with the LENNDEVOURS tasting panel…but at least we’ve all moved beyond pink wines.
