- Snooth's First Annual Blind Tasting Challenge!
Let me preface this by stating at the outset that I think wine is all about fun. Having fun, enjoying oneself, bs-ing about wine, and yes, as my father has often said, wine is 90% BS!
But I digress. In the spirit of having fun I am announcing the first Snooth Blind Tasting Challenge!
How it will work - We'll have 4 flights of three wines each, our usual blind tasting format, and we will invite bloggers and enthusiasts to join us here at the Snooth conference room in New York City.
Each flight will consist of three themed wines. Contestants will be scored on their ability to determine each wine's varietal, country of origin, region and vintage.
Prizes will be awarded to the winners, tentatively the grand prize will be a seat at the table for a 1989 and 1999 retrospective Barolo tasting that I am organizing for October of this year here in NYC.
Sounds like we'll have some fun to be sure. I'm still working on the 2nd and 3rd place prizes but I'm thinking they will not disappoint!
If you're interested in trying out your palate let me know. The date is not yet firm but I was thinking that perhaps Saturday September 12th or October 3rd might be convenient.

I'm terrible at this, but where's RBoulanger - he very nearly, sort of may have, won a blind tasting at the Wine Century club a couple of years ago.

Tentatively in - depends on dates. I have no chance of winning any prizes, but will definitely have fun!
