11am - 8pm
All Day Long
We don't want to do too many blind tastings, as we don't want you to get sick of them! That being said, people come in over and over again asking if we can put Opus One to the test...and given that 2007 is supposed to be one of the best vintages of Opus EVER made, we just had to say yes!
Ahhh, Opus One. The brainchild of the late Robert Mondavi and Baron Phillipe de Rothschild that is a Napa Valley landmark (I mean, the building is really cool!). You may not even like wine or drink wine and you have heard of Opus One. The real question is - If you were to taste the wine and not know that it is Opus One, could you pick it out? If you did not know the price, could not see the label etc. would it still taste better to you than a wine that costs 83% less? Well, it's time to find out!
That is why we're playing "Find the Opus One" this Saturday. It's simple really. Eight wines will all be tasted blind on our machines. One of them will be 2007 Opus One 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 Opus One, then great, if not, well that's OK too. You may be surprised as to what your favorites actually are. Given that Opus sells for north of $150 it is always interesting to see if there are wines that cost $9, $25, $50 or even $75 (which is almost 50% off Opus One!) that taste better.
Some come on in for some tasting fun on Saturday and enjoy some great wine!
