“M” hosted by Bob & Karen

1. Meridian 2008 Napa, CA
   Bob 7.5, Karen 8, Mike 7, Becky 8 (after cheese), Lauren 9.5, Kara 7, Dane 8
   Karen: “Smells good. Very smooth.”
   Becky: “Very smooth.”
   Mike: “Just what I wanted. Drinkable. Hits the right spot.”
   Lauren: “It’s exactly what I like to drink. It’s a TEN!”
   Karan: “It’s pretty good. I’ve had better ones.”Dane: “I like it.”
   Bob: “Refreshing.”
   Karen: “Nice color. Not heavy. Not many legs.”
   Note: Karen bought this one because of a bag of wine corks that were donated for"cork" angels. (to decorate a tree to the Wadsworth Museum for the Festival of the Trees) The majority of the corks were from this wine...and since it started with an "M" it was perfect for our tasting.
