Backlog of wine tastes

This is the last of the backlog from wine tastings at Vintage Cellar and our trip to Asheville (where we tasted many wines at the Biltmore Estate Winery).  Included in this long lists of tastes was a special Barbaresco tasting done at Vintage Cellar.  These were great wines and we were very pleased to be invited to the tasting.   I guess I should also note that we weren't particularly impressed by the wines at the Biltmore - we didn't even buy a single bottle.   There was some okay stuff (but just okay) but we didn't feel any of it was worth the price they were asking.  We were convinced we could get equal or better wine for the same price (or even lower).

This long list gets us to 93/1000.
