We met with Ali from Dumas Station & Group Vino (a conglomeration of eager wine enthusiasts) for a raucous blind tasting of nearly 30 wines---the rules? Grab a $20 and skip down to your local wine shop for a bottle of the owner's favorite wine for the dough. We sipped our whites and slurped some reds (and 1 rose!), munched on fabulous home-made bites from Portland Palates, and casted our votes. Wouldn't you know it---a new world Cab beat the competitors and was hence crowned "Mister Group Vino" for the evening---my personal under $20 fav was the 2002 Lucien Albrecht Pinot Gris (Alsace.)
