What is Blind Tasting? An individual's perception of products, including wine, is influenced by who made it, the origin of the product, the packaging as well as many other factors. Blind Tasting is a skill employed by wine professionals to assess the qualities of a wine without any information that might sway their perception.
Why would I want to learn how to blind taste? Generally the more you know about something, the more enjoyment you derive from it. Wine is no different and blind tasting is a great way to learn more about what you have in your glass. Understanding what characteristics you like guides you toward to finding wines you really love. The skills acquired by tasting blind will allow you to hone in on what makes a wine delicious. Do you like Barberas from Italy because they remind you of raspberries? Do you taste Coca Cola in Sonoma Coast Pinot?

You may have walked into a wine shop and looked at the rows of French or Italian wines and wondered, what would be like to pick several to taste, to compare wine producing regions in these countries, or find some remarkable new favorites? Our tasting event on October 27 is just that opportunity. While our typical flight night focuses on a producer, region or importer, for this tasting we will have around 20 different wines from the Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant portfolio of French and Italian wines for you to taste.
