Weekly tasting group RWP : 10 completely different wines fully blind
@ My place
Tasted January 15, 2018 by Zweder with 178 views
Introduction
We get 10 wines in 10 glasses. All wines of a different varietal or blend and from a different location. We have to tell in approx 1 hour where the wine is produced and of which varietal or traditional blend, the vintage and as many details as we can give. For big ego’s this is the ultimate way to land with both feet on the ground and become humble again ;-) ;-)!
