After doing a bit of shopping in Manhattan I headed to the 8th floor of Saks Fifth Avenue to attend the holiday dinner of the Commanderie de Bordeaux. As you can see by the picture, we tasted many wines that evening. It was a bring-your-own bottle event...and I had many fine bordeaux from older vintages. There was so much wine that at the end of the night...several tables had half-full glasses that were left to be poured into the Manhattan sewer system. Tragic!
