I kept going, but after that it was pretty tough. Too bad, because I'd saved some of the powerhouses in the room for last. I also learned that it is possible to get tipsy even with religious spitting. Strange to be spitting $100 champagne, but I still had to take a break before driving home.

As a longtime Dolphins ( Seahawks first ) fan, I thank your front office for the trade. Do I think the Jets would have won with Pennington? No, but worked out for us in the end. *grin* Secondly, sorry about that massive tasting. That had to be painful. Thanks for bucking up and doing a show for us, i love you too. QOTD: Im not sure. Ive been to two restaurant trade tastings ( pays to be in the business!! ) and theyre small ones ( local wineries ), but it was still upwards of 60 wines or more I tasted. I didnt feel any fatigue, but I did get smashed both times. God I need to learn to spit! Ok first off I have to point out your wonderful Pennington jersey in the background.

QOTD: I have been to two big trade tastings and after about 30-40 wines I can't really taste anything specific. I am a pretty new, unfocused taster though. I appreciate your dedication.

QOTD: Depends on whether I'm spitting or not. If I'm not I start to lose it after only a dozen or so. I've never had the opportunity to taste more than 80 in a controlled environment when I was spitting. I was doing OK on that one when I finished but probably getting close to when I would tire.
