Had this tonight with dinner, a chicken/apple/bleu cheese/red onion/candied pecan/mixed greens salad with an apple vinaigrette dressing and thought it was delicious and they paired extremely well. Made me think about what a New Glarus Raspberry Tart might taste like after 6-12 months in Cabernet barrels.

Hopefully, several of us will gather and celebrate this today with some food truck fare from Don Juan, with an appropriate beverage, of course:

Let's see: at least 17 new beers for Nrrrrvous, 23 for accfan and unknown #s for fuse, RJ199 and me from RVA. Hmm, that's a lot of tasting over the next few days, err, weeks and I don't think any involve candy or cartoons but there will be a pastry beer or three.

Real beers, real people, real meet-up today. Thanks to all who shopped, traveled, sipped, ate and traded. Will wait for dozens, nay, hundreds, maybe thousands of reviews and discussions about the afternoon that stretched into the evening.

I think two, maybe 3 of us ordered the Contractually Obligated this afternoon and I'm sure reviews will follow when all the participants get settled in for the evening.
