    The judging was fun and inspiring. Mike did a great job orginizing and Thank You to the many stewards who helped with the pourings. I appreciated the style talk that was given on Black Beers. It is always fun listening to each of you, describe your likes and dislikes about your beer and your brewing processes. Everyone seemed to have a fun time. And certainly a BIG THANK YOU to the Cahill Winery for thier on-going support and encouragement. Skoal...

    Another great day with good people! Extra cool that it was barrel tasting weekend and Don, Romy, and Carly had barrel outside for port and wine tasting. This day was a true sensory experience between tasting/judging Iron Brewer beers, the style talk on Dark Lagers by Bob Peak, and the wine/port tasting of Cahill barrels.

    I thought it was great despite my not being "all there" While I was in a bit of pain and hobbling around, the event went VERY well. Of course, it didn't hurt that my team came in with the blue ribbon.. I'd like to again thank all the guys who put in so much time creating great events like this.. and it looks like things couldn't get much better with all of the planned events. I'd also like to again give props to Don who, in my limited experience, plays a super host. Prost to Cahill. Bill Splaine
