Welcome to the Ladies Tasting
Society!
The Ladies Tasting Society is a members-only club of San Francisco
Bay Area women who love fine wine. We meet once a month for the
purpose of educating our guests and ourselves about the history,
production, cultural significance and -- most importantly-- the
pleasures of drinking fine wines from around the world. Below are our tasting notes,
communications, and some relevant news stories.

Chateau d'Yquem Drops Its Price Dramatically for 1999 Vintage
 According to Wine Spectator, "In a surprise move that delighted buyers around the world today, Château d'Yquem released its 1999 vintage to the trade for 75 euros (nearly $92) a bottle, the lowest price in more than a decade. Within hours after Yquem's announcement, the famed Sauternes was selling briskly to importers, distributors and collectors in Europe, Asia and the United States. Bordeaux brokers, or négociants, sold the wine for 90 euros ($110) to their clients. Now U.S. retailers, such as Zachys Wine & Liquor in Scarsdale, N.Y., are offering the wine to customers for around $130 a bottle."
Nothing tops the one Diana served from the 1970s!
