"All About Wine" Lunch

What is better than a lunch revolving around the yummiest wines?  And, I don't mean like a wine dinner where the courses are paired to bring out the best in the wine and vice versa.  I mean, a lunch where the whole purpose is to drink preeminent wines, oh and then you can partake in delectable and savory food as a side.   Well, that is what I did on Friday. 

A huge thank you to a great friend who included me an unforgettable lunch, I was able to sample some really fun, amazing grape juices.  Here is what I took away:
