Funny you should say that about your gift bottle- I think we have about 4 bottles under the stairs- 2 red and 2 bubbly. People will insist on buying them for us as gifts, and we never drink them! (very kind and all that, but no thanks ;) )

This was my first ever tasting. It was a lot of fun when I got over the butterflies and the fact that I didn't really care what they all thought of me. I became a running joke- and that suited me fine.

Funny how you also found one wine that you really liked! Same with me from this evening... sadly it wasn't cheap, but if I fancied a glass ever, I took a photo of the bottle so I wouldn't forget which one it was!
