Our Score

The group met at the home of Julie and Russ.  Everyone seemed to enjoy the Bruichladdich, but only 2 of 8 members present said that they would be likely to purchase it at the retail price of $86/bottle.  It was very nice to have Kevin back for the meeting as he always has an intriguing comment at the end.
