Well, here it is. all you could ever want to know about the tapas party in May - or atleast what I can remember of it. I’ve been meaning to write this for ever now and of course, the longer I waited, the less I remembered. Since none of use had tasted any of the wines before [except of course the Naia - one of my favorites], and many people at the party had not experienced much wine at all, my dad setup some ground rules right at the beginning:

1. There are no rules
2. When in doubt, refer to rule 1
