There were three, Image Image Image (perhaps to be named ‘four’, ‘eight’, ‘twelve’), but maybe your post is hinting that there are now only two. Goodie!

Flash did the scoring and took pictures of the score sheets. Hopefully he’ll have the chance to post soon.

I’m prepared to bet money that the winners are on the left side of the place mats…

Thank you Mike for posting the score sheet.

Interesting that the 1970 Ferreira was far and away the winner. We're doing a Ferreira tasting later this month so I'll be curious to see if this performs as well.
