April 22, 2006 - Wine Tasting Party

VortexHouse hosted a Wine Tasting on April 22, 2006

Participants were asked to bring a bottle of wine that was under $18. Bottles were covered by bags with letters, and participants wrote down what they liked about each and rated them. Bottles were unveiled around 11pm.

Pictures below (more from Peter soon), list of wines at the bottom of the page.
