Co-chair David Flanders assembled a wide-ranging South American flight of eight wines from four countries, balancing four whites and four reds. Highlights included a Uruguayan Albariño, a Peruvian Tannat that gave many members their first taste of Peruvian wine, and a Chilean Viognier-Roussanne-Marsanne blend that proved so popular it promptly sold out.
