Blind 2006 Caymus SS Tasting
Saturday August 8th, 2009
11am - 8pm
Our blind tastings have been a huge hit - especially when we bring out the big guns. We've had Opus One, Silver Oak, Caymus and others go blind up against rivals and now it is time for our 2nd Annual Caymus Special Selection Blind Tasting! This Saturday we will be tasting 2006 Caymus Special Selection blind against 7 other rivals. Caymus Special Selection is one of the best known and most sought after California Cabernets on the market today and now it is time to put it to the test. We've been working on the wines we will put up against this California heavyweight and we assure you that you will not be dissapointed. Prices of the competition range from $15 a bottle to $130 a bottle!
If you don't know the price, can't see the label, and can't hear someone barking in your ear about the wine's "score," then all that is left is the juice and your taste buds. It's a scary proposition for any winemaker. That's why you have marketing departments that design catchy labels, create campaigns to build a wine's image, and spend all of their time and energy essentially trying to convince consumers that a wine is great. The problem is that you can't out "market" a blind tasting.
Which is why we're playing "Find the Caymus Special Select" this Saturday. It's simple really. Eight wines will all be tasted blind. One of them will be 2006 Caymus Special Selection and the others will be an assortment of wines at every price point from a number of different regions. All you have to do is taste and pick your favorite. Yes, that's right, your favorite. If that's the Caymus SS, then great, if not, well that's OK too. You may be surprised as to what your favorites actually are.
