Everyone who is anyone in the wine world is in my town this week. The 2012 Wine and Grape Symposium is going on at the Sacramento Convention Center as we speak! Early reports out of the discussion forums are that growers are beginning to worry about 2012 being a dry year….get ready for an Econ 101…

It is a blind-tasting and attendees can submit wines for tasting and judging. I have gone in the past, and it is soooo much fun tasting nearly 20 wines….and then attempting to identify each…
