Top Bidders Dinner

My wife and I attended the Atlanta High Museum Wine Auction's Top Bidders dinner at the Cherokee Country Club in Buckhead (Atlanta).

Highlights were meeting Dain and Lauren Reeves (also great supporters of the High Museum) and getting to know both Cristian Vellejo (Vik's winemaker) and reconnecting with Juan Marcado (Realm & Riise). Cristian was in an especially good mood because the he had just learned about his first ever JS 100pt score!

It was also great to see Sam Lando again (and I jokingly prodded him about my pending "wish list" wines!). Sam is making great Pinots and Chards and is just a great guy. If you haven't tried his wines, definitely seek them out!

WOTN was the '19 Riise Wine JOVIAN.

Now off to the central coast to visit Talley Vineyards, CASS and Pres’quile!
