6th Annual Summer Back Porch Wine Bash - a Recap

On a recent Saturday evening in mid-August, during the nicest weekend weather-wise of the summer in Philadelphia, friends and wine lovers gathered at my place in Germantown to enjoy wine, food and company for our yearly enological blowout, this time featuring wines from down South American way.  The selection ran the gamut from white to rosé to red with a Prosecco interloper thrown into the mix.  The standouts, according to most imbibers, were the two reds from Garzon Vineyards (Uruguay), a Tannat and a Cabernet Franc, plus an exceptional Malbec called "biutiful" from the Mendoza region in Argentina.  There were many other very quaffable wines from Chile - both red and white.  (Southern Brazil is making some very nice wines these days, but unfortunately, none of them made it to the party.)

Many thanks to all for the donations of food and wine and looking forward to seeing you all next summer!
