Dear fellow members,
What we had last night will go down in the history of the Society in the Philippines as the best attended event and most memorable event when the best of Bordeaux and Napa came together in one offering to its members. For this, we must again thank Joe Ledesma who so generously parted with 40 bottles of his best wines for the benefit of the Society and, as he said last night, because he also wanted to make up for his absences and meet his fellow members many of whom he had never met before.
Members in attendance numbered 42 (of 69). From all indications, it was a most enjoyable evening of magnificent wines, fine food, and great friends. All the wines showed up as they should with the food staying discreetly in the background.
Here is the link to Noel Ermitaño's notes on the Bordeaux 1855 first growth ++ wine dinner last Sunday on his site, Eye on Wine,

Noel's objective assessment of fine wine and food that he has reviewed over the years, including this recent assemblage of the best wines in Bordeaux, has made him - through his blog - an important point of reference for wine and food lovers.
Best regards,
Oscar
