National Icons Blind Tasting Challenge (15% EC Discount) Meet-up

Some counties make a certain wine with such distinctiveness that they become National Icons. Come try your skill at blind tasting a New Zealand Sauvy, a Mendoza Malbec, a Barossa Shiraz, or any of the other national treasures we’ll be serving… Don’t worry we give lots of clues so this will be a fun one for wine amateurs and aficionados alike. About The Monthly Blind Tasting: Blind tasting wines is when you don’t know what you’re drinking so you can really ‘taste’ free from bias. It makes for fun conversation with your new friends, plus interactive lesson is provided by The Tasting Class. How it Works: We sit at social tables of 10. Six different covered mystery bottles of wine are shared by everyone at the table. We’ll teach some tips on tasting like a pro, and give some insight into the evening’s theme. Everyone will then have some time to blind taste the wines and try to guess what they are using the clues provided and their own sense of smell and taste. After everyone tastes all the wines we will vote for our favorite, then reveal the wines one by one, getting a lesson on each wine as we feel off their covers. Taste and discuss with everyone at the table, learn about wine, vote and enjoy some snacks and socializing.
