Results of the Wine Tasting

Dr B writes: It was a wonderful evening sharing friendship and quotations about wine. Here are a few:

Wer nicht liebt Wein, Weib und Gesang, der bleibt ein Thor sein Leben lang - Martin Luther

Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant, unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine - Joan Collins

Women and wine should life employ. Is there ought else on earth desirous - John Gay

No longer drink only water but take a little wine, it's good for digestion and good medicine for what ails you - 1 Timothy 5:23

Wein saufen ist Sünde, Wein trinken ist beten, Lasset uns beten - Theodor Heuss

We also put together an unscientific ranking of the wine tasting based on how from each bottle was drunk on Friday evening. Here are the results with the most popular at the top, and with links to the vineyards and information on where to buy the wines:
