Blind Wine Tasting with a side of WOW – Episode 72

January 10, 2013 in Videos

Another blind wine tasting in this episode, and one where you can see me go kinda crazy for a wine.

Written breakdown of the blind wine tasting

Before I get started on the wine I took a minute to thank everyone that has commented lately on the site.  It is a lot of fun interacting with folks and I am really thankful that people take time from their day to watch and comment.

The Wine

Sight

A very light-colored wine with no glass staining, the color is ruby.

Nose

I got a little excited right away because there was some funk in the wine.  Earth, forest floor, strawberry, and cranberry show prominently.

Palate

At first I can’t even form words other than “Wow” because I was stunned by this wine.  The palate shows notes of strawberry, cranberry, some of that Earth, tomato leaf, there is even some Jolly Rancher flavors of cherry and watermelon.  The finish is long and amazing.

The Reveal

You are going to have to watch the video to find out!

People love a good blind wine tasting, and I love to make them.  Be honest, with these videos, do you like the failures or the successes more?

Blind Wine Tasting – Episode 64

For me, identifying Sangiovese v Nebbiolo when I am doing a blind wine tasting is like picking out which clone/time traveler is the evil one in  a movie fight.  I’ve got the gun, they are both telling me it’s the other one, except I inevitably choose wrong and shoot the star of the film.

A chilly, drizzly night outside calls for a hot bowl of chili.  This wine paired well with the chili, but how did I do at identifying it blind?
