Day 6000

A thousand days older, none the wiser
 
To those who were able to celebrate Day 6000 with us in person: thank you for the many lovely flowers and delicious desserts, and thanks especially for working your way through the six domestic sparkling white wines we insisted you taste test. Whether you sipped or not, here's a copy of the data:

 
 
You can crunch your own numbers or simply accept these insights:

  • The highest scoring bottle was the Gruet Cuvee 89 which, it turns out, is from New Mexico. J Vineyards 20 was a close second and comes from hereabouts. However, since the Gruet costs about half as much (and is on $.05 sales at BevMo), I think we all know what we'll be using to wash away 2021.
  • Domain Carneros, Roedere, and Gloria Ferrer were all roundly disliked. Schramsberg too, except I liked it. No accounting for (your) taste.
  • Couples--Ethan and Flo, Dan and Alyson, Quentin and Samya, and, of course, you and me, T--tend to share tastes, or at least pretend to, or perhaps only one person in each couple recorded the scores.
  • The only thing anyone liked more than Veuve was Bela's persimmon tart.
We'll see you for 7000. In the meanwhile, if you miss us, or each other, a few more photos...
