Cabernet Tasting at USC – Stanford Football Game
11 October 2010

The theme this year was “Cabernet Sauvignon $15 and Up”. A few lower priced ringers were included (people either didn't follow guideline, or ignored them). These lower priced wines did rather well in Flight 2. In flight 1 we had an unusual occurrence: a three-way tie for first. There were 14 tasters evaluating Flight 1 and 15 tasters evaluating Flight 2 (How did that happen?)
