Every few weeks, a group of us meet for dinner at a BYO (New Jersey’s great for those) and bring killer wines to share. This time, I opted to have the 5 couples over at my home for a summer dinner outdoors. The evening was spectacular, the food admittedly tasty and the wines just unbelievable.

The wine lineup was incredible with flavors still dancing around in my head. While it was a lot of work to prep for the party, I’m already looking forward to hosting the next one.
