Keep your eye out for our Double Blind Tasting in 2026

Event Details:

📅 When: May - October
⏰ Time: 11:00AM - 3:30PM
💰 Price: $20 per person

Experience: Join us in the new year for an eye-opening (or rather, sight-depriving) blind tasting adventure that reveals just how dramatically a wine glass can transform aroma and flavor.

Using opaque black stemware—specially designed to eliminate all visual cues like color—we'll conduct a true "double-blind" experience. Pour the same wines into different varietal-specific Riedel shapes (and the neutral black glass), then taste each and try to uncover which wine matches which glass.

No peeking at the wine's hue allowed—this forces your senses to rely purely on aroma and palate, often with surprising results (even reds and whites can blur together!). It's a fun, educational challenge that proves the right glass isn't just about looks—it's about unlocking a wine's full potential.

What to expect:

• Tasting of 5 wines using 10 glasses  
• Comparison of varietal specific stemware with black glass
• Guided by our knowledgeable tasting staff
• Discover how the loss of your visual sense plays a significant role in aroma and taste
