Century Club Recap

Posted on October 5, 2009 by Sonadora

As I wrote yesterday, we finished our Century Club hunt with a final grape of Bonarda.  It took us nearly three years of actually recording our consumption to get a 100 grapes, though I’m sure we finished it well before then, we just weren’t recording and I wanted to be able to point to bottles for my own personal reference point.  Without further ado, the 100 grapes we’ve tasted!

As you can see, it’s actually 101! We are starting on our way to get 200 grapes!! We’re already one on our way and I’ve got about 5-6 more bottles in the basement hanging out with other new grapes waiting to be tasted.  Then, I will be on the hunt for such obscure grapes as Cserzegi Fuszeres and Schioppettino.  I’ll be documenting that on the blog too…though I expect it will take A VERY LONG time given that what’s left are fairly oddball grapes!
