11am - 8pm
That's right people, it's time for our 2nd Annual Belle Glos Blind Tasting! Given the enormous popularity of the Belle Glos lineup (Meiomi, and the single vineyard pinot noirs) we need to put them to the ultimate test once a year in a no holds barred blind tasting. So this Saturday we will be tasting the Belle Glos blind against 7 other rivals all on the tasting machine.
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 Belle Glos" this Saturday. It's simple really. Eight
wines will all be tasted blind. One of them will be 2011 Belle Glos
Clark & Telephone Pinot Noir 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 Belle Glos, then great, if not, well that's OK
too. You may be surprised as to what your favorites actually are.
Get ready to taste some amazing Pinot Noir!
