Six wines. Six clues. One fun challenge. Sharpen your palate in a blind tasting that's not so blind.
About this Event

Blind tastings can be intimidating. Most of us would rather enjoy a glass of wine with friends than sit through a high-pressure exam—especially when we're expected to identify wines and often end up second-guessing ourselves. At the same time, many of us want to learn more about what we're drinking.
So what if blind tasting felt more like an open-book exam?

At the "Not So Blind Tasting" event, we'll taste six wines: three whites and three reds. While the bottles will remain hidden, you'll receive a set of tasting notes describing the key characteristics of each wine. Your challenge is simple: taste the wines and match each bottle to its description.

No need to identify the grape variety, region, or producer. Instead, you'll focus on recognizing aromas, flavors, structure, and style in a fun, low-pressure setting. It's a great way to sharpen your palate, build confidence, and learn how different wines express themselves—without the stress of a traditional blind tasting.

This is our way of making a blind tasting... not so blind.

Notes: A charcuterie board will be provided for wine tasting and wine pairing.
