Blind Tasting

It seems as if it is all set for the first wine tasting on the 29th of November. For now I am keeping it small, just 8 people, but I think 10 people should be perfect. Here's the idea.

Each person who will attend, buys one bottle of wine, either white or red, and gives it to me a week before the event. The reason for this is to give me time to prepare all the bottles, because the wine tasting will be a blind tasting. This means, you won't see any labels, or know anything about the wine, beforehand, or during the event. We'll start with the white wines first, then move onto the reds. Each person will also have some paper and a pen, where they will write their thoughts on each wine they tasted. They will also need to guess the country, the variety, the estate/farm and of course the year. Each wine will also receive their rating out of 5.

This we do for all the wines, until right at the end, when we reveal the labels. It'll be interesting to see if the "owners" could guess the right wine they bought, when they drink it in a blind tasting.

At the end of the night, each person goes home with a list of wines they may never have tasted, as well as their thought on the wine, which will help them a bit, when buying wine the next time.
