Blind tasting...

Posted by mkuller on May 12, 2017 at 08:27:48:
...someone wrote a book about less expensive wines winning all their blind tastings and they list the winners - linked below.

And that's pretty much the experience my wine tasting groups has had over the past 7 years.

The reason is that in a blind tasting the one that wins is not necessarily the most complex, the most balanced or the one that will age the best.

The winner is usually the one that's fruit-forward and that's the most drinkable now. Simple wins.

Think Meiomi pinot noir. It won our pinot noir tasting 3 or 4 years ago and was banned after that.
