...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.
Follow Ups:
I would enjoy trying that experiment. Years ago we did the same thing with a bottle of Charles Krug Burgundy, maybe $3/bottle in the mid 80's. Brown bagged it and served it at the end of the evening at a fancy wine dinner. Most thought it was a Grand Cru Burgundy. Of course they had consumed a large amount of wine by then.
I would also put my wife up to the challenge. She doesn't know labels or prices but will invariably turn her nose up at a cheap bottle of wine. But then we're not big on soft fruity forward wines.
