Tonight: Virtual Wine Tasting with the Sacramento Bee's Chris Macias
Tonight we'll be sipping in good company, virtually that is... Mike Dunne (the Bee's former food and wine editor and current author of the blog "A Year in Wine"), Michael Chandler (wine director for The Market at Pavilions), and Leon Moore (recently certified sommelier) will be all tasting and sharing their thoughts on three wines.
What is a virtual wine tasting? And how do you play along?
Well first, stop by your local wine shop and pick up the three wines we'll all be tasting: 2008 Bogle Riesling, 2008 Red Rock Malbec, & the 2008 Gnarly Head California Cabernet Sauvignon.
Then log on to www.sacbee.com/appetizers at 6 p.m. Wednesday, and we'll taste three bottles together as an online community.
