For an account of my second Wijnsociëteit tasting, that I dubbed "Adulterers" because the subject was wines made from grapes from outside their "natural" habitat, see http://home.hetnet.nl/~peternelly/.
Favorites were the Dialog Cuvee, a wooded chardonnay, unwooded sauvignon blanc blend from Johannishof Reinisch, Thermenregion, Austria, and the York Creek Petite Sirah 1996 from Ridge. The most expensive wine of the night, the 1998 Syrah from Isole & Olena, seemed to miss some fruit but this (in my opinion over-) developed mushroomy aromas had disappeared a while later. Might have had something to do with the cheese we were having at that time, though.
