Friday, February 3, 2023 - My wife opened this and made me guess I was close by saying cab sav I buy a couple every yr and have not been disappointed It is really good wine I will continue to buy more

I have not been cellaring wine long enough to build up that kind of tasting, but some of the wineries have offered events like you describe .

I think blends are great for doing vertical blind tastings because the percentages of varietal usually changes vintage to vintage. I usually attend (and host a few) six blind tastings per year.
