‘S’ hosted by Karen & Bob

1. Black Stallion 2008 Napa Valley $19.99
   Bob 9, Karen 9, Mike 8, Becky 9, Lauren 9
   Bob: “Smells fantastic! That’s good.. psssst, taste..psst..tste.” (I didn’t know how to write the sound that Bob made)
   Becky: “Smells so good I don’t want to drink it. Mmmm! This is REALLY good!”
   Lauren: “If this is the cheap on I’m gonna really like it. Not strong at all.”
   Karen: “Dry. Dark berry taste.”
   Bob: “Pleasant. No bite. Really good.”
   Mike (with his stuffed nose): “I can’t taste anything. It’s a ten.”
   


2. Slingshot 2007 Napa Valley $21.24
   Bob 6.5, Karen 7, Mike 6, Becky 7, Lauren 6.5
   Lauren: “Stronger than the last one.”
   Mike: “It has a bit.”
   Karen: “This has no smell. This isn’t bad. If we hadn’t had the other one first, I would like it. Not as smooth. Much more bitter.”
   Bob: “Slightly bitey.”
   


3. Souverain 2008 North Coast $15.29

   Becky: “Harsh after M&M’s”
   Mike: “I like it better than the 2nd one.”
   Lauren: “This is a peppery one.”
   Karen: “It’s the chocolate. If you don’t have the chocolate, it’s not bad.”
   Bob: “Flavored. Not bad.”
