Blind Tasting

with Tim Farrell
Thursday 3/19 6:30pm
&Co, 201 Montgomery Street

The ability to correctly guess the grape variety and origin of a wine simply by tasting it is an often over-hyped and over-analyzed corner of wine appreciation. However, when done properly, blind tasting exercises are a great way to sharpen your senses and remove expectations and preconceptions from your palate. CoolVines wine director Tim Farrell will lead this always-popular tasting by guiding the class together through three wines via deductive reasoning. Attendees will then taste three wines on their own to determine what is in the glass. If this sounds intimidating, we promise it's all in the name of fun! (Plus we hand out cheat sheets, as well.) Join us for one of the most unique tasting events of the Wine Academy calendar!
