This was a very interesting and fun theme put together for a bachelorette party.  Nothing better than indulging
in lively sparkling wines and delicious hedonistic sweet wines.  The range of wines was fantastic, and presented
a great opportunity to try different styles of these wines from all over the world.  The Schramsberg took 1st
place for the sparklers, the Schloss Lieser for the most beautiful and intriguing of the wines, and the Chateau
d'Arche just blew everyone away with it's complexity and concentration. Everyone wanted more.  You'll have to
wait for the wedding for that.
