More Hedonism Friday - Sunday.It's hedonism week at the Lab. It's the summer of 08 and the winemakers are on vacation - what's a Lab to do? Emphasize the delight in wine. The music is going to be a bit rowdier and louder. The wines are going to be bigger and less food friendly. We're going to end it all with a wine contest where winner takes all.Big Reds Wednesday and Thursday They are loved and cursed, but big red wine is what we often crave so let's give in. Start off with your choice of BIG white wine and then on to....
