Wine Tasting at JC BCP Fly in?

OK, not sure how people will respond to this one, but anyone up for an informal wine tasting at the Johnson Creek Fly-in in June? I have reserved some of my useful load for some nice bottles - would love to share, hopefully some others might contribute?? Bring your plastic wine glass (or camp mug will work)

I really like Bordeaux style blends, so on my list:
- Justin Isosceles (Paso Robles, Central Coast, CA).
- Donati Ezio (Pacines, Central Coast, CA).
- Madrona` Reserve Quintet (Sierra Foothills, CA)

Anyone want to add to the list?

Re: Wine Tasting at JC BCP Fly in?

A good buddy once brought a bottle of raspberry zinfandel on a camping and caving trip. #-o We'll never let him live it down. We told him we didn't want to be quite that kind of friends. :shock: That's just not the kind of thing you bring on a boys' camping trip in WY. We drank it just to rid the camp of the disgrace.

Re: Wine Tasting at JC BCP Fly in?

Wish I could make it. I'd bring a few bottles of home made Chilean Merlot and a Malbec. Probably some home brew as well. Maybe next year.

Oh yea! MD 20 20. That is the one for special occasions. Tastes about the same whether it is going down or coming up!

Re: Wine Tasting at JC BCP Fly in?

Fellas, I'm pretty much a regular guy. I drink a little wine when my wife and I find something we like-if there isn't sticker shock involved. But wine tasting in the back country seems a little above my station in life (besides the butler can't make it :lol: )
However; At the other end of the spectrum, I'm not much into the 'Blazing Saddles' campfire type of scene either. (Admittedly the competition with this group would be formidable :lol: )

I think I got off track there....... you know, just a regular middle-of-the runway kinda guy.......

ANY beer is the beer of the back country!
I also won't complain if others bring wine. Low brow as I am, I would like to try Two Buck Chuck, we can't get it here, and I'm starting to think it's an urban legend.

Technically, it is. These days it is $3 at Trader Joe's. :D
