The wines do change...

...over the 60 to 90 minutes we're tasting them, even the ones that have been decanted for an hour first.

As I've said before, in blind tastings like this, the winners tend to be fruity and very drinkable now, rather than complex with other layers to come out with bottle aging.

We also taste them with bread and cheese snacks, sometimes some salami, but not with meals.

The two winners were fruity but also the most balanced with no off tastes. I liked the Niner from the beginning and thought the Freakshow was fruity and one note initially, but it got a little better.

I brought the Burrell School which I thought was more complex, but it didn't hold up as well.

The French wine had good ratings and the guy who brought it was very surprised as he drinks mostly French and Italian wines - he also rated it last and was pretty in line with the other tasters.

Get a group together and try a blind tasting and you'll see how much you love fruit bombs, too.

You know, like Bedrock, Turley and Seghesio.
