Hi guys,
I am hosting a blind tasting for a few family and friends. They're all casual drinkers, so I need to make it fun and laughs while being less technical, for example these questions will definitely be out: guessing cooler vs warmer vintages, varietals, or guessing Barolo vs Barbaresco. They are all red wine drinkers so I am keeping it along those lines, but who doesn't like bubbles?
What I am thinking of doing is something along the lines of the theme guessing new world vs old world with the same grape variety + guessing which one is a mature wine vs fresh wine.
Flight 1 - To guess which is the Cremant, Champagne and Prosecco
Prosecco vs Champagne vs Crémant de Bourgogne
Flight 2 - To guess which one is New/Old world, and which is the older vintage
Napa Cabernet/Chilean Cabernet vs Aged Bordeaux Cabernet
Flight 3 - Syrah vs Shiraz
Aged Cote Rotie/Hermitage or even SJ/CH vs Australian Shiraz
I can do a one or two more flights but ideally, would like to keep it under $500.
Another idea is to use a points system, where the winner would take home a bottle of wine.
