Sommelier Guild of Atlanta: Il Giallo dinner

BYOB Dinner with guild members along with some out of town guests

March brings several wine events around Atlanta leading up to and including the High Museum Wine Auction and a special invite-only Bordeaux Tasting.

So out-of-towners attending those events over the weekend won't have to fend for themselves this Friday night our Guild decided to show them true Southern Hospitality by hosting a BYOB dinner at il Giallo.

Many really REALlY great Mags and 750s (bubbles, whites and reds) were consumed. No formal notes just some thoughts and scores on the wines that really stood out to me.
