Thank you for attending the "Bordeaux Challenge" last week. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
This was the first time we have done a blind wine tasting challenge that included so many good wines from one region. How did you like it? What would have made it better for you? What would you suggest we do in future? We value your input and suggestions. Please email me your thoughts.
From the 12 B.C. Reds tasted, The top 4 choices you selected in order of preference were:
1. Mission Hill Oculus 2006 $94.99
2. Laughing Stock Vineyards Portfolio $47.99
3. Aces Pocket King Red 2007 $42.99
4. Painted Rock Red Icon 2008 $69.99
The two wines that everyone thought might have been the French Bordeaux were:
Le Vieux Pin Apogee $74.99
Dirty Laundry Bordello $53.99
Congratulations to Ken who picked the correct French Bordeaux - Chateau D'Arsac Cru Bourgeois AOC Margaux 2008. Enjoy drinking this wonderful wine with your friends!
Our next tasting event is on April 17, 2012. We will be featuring a selection of Rose Wines from around the world to herald the spring/ summer sipping season. Hope to see you there.
