About the event
Our tasting will focus on two objectives:
· In the past, many of you have asked HOW TO TASTE WINES.  Part of the session will include ideas on how taste and evaluate Bordeaux wines - with special focus on how to understand concepts like body, tannins, acidity, and structure. We plan to discuss and practice these concepts with one or two non-blind samples.
· Then we will taste 4 additional wines poured blind and allow people to use the concepts they just learned to evaluate the wines. We'll also collect people's rankings of the wines so that we'll be able to evaluate whose tastes and preferences are similar and different.
The blind samples will range across regions and vintages. We will represent Left and Right banks, with something older and something newer.
COQUETTE RESERVATION
We also plan to reserve a couple of tables at Coquette, a nearby restaurant, for those who would like to have dinner together afterwards. Â There is a separate RSVP for you to sign up to let us know how many tables we need.
