J ames Suckling describes a "gunslinger dinner" at a great LA restaurant:
James Orr, a screenwriter in Los Angeles who's also a serious wine collector, invited me to a "gunslinger" wine dinner at Campanile restaurant. Ten of his buddies would each bring a bottle to share. All the wines would be served blind. The person who brought the worst wine to the dinner had to pay for everyone.
Now that's a very cool premise. It got me wondering: "What would I pull out of my cellar for such a dinner?" (The 1990 Monte Bello? The 1982 Gruaud-Larose?) It also got me wondering: "How do I get invited to the next one."
Anyway, the ratings of the wines had a couple of real surprises!
