Hello everyone,

I'm new to this n/g and I hope you'll favor me with your opinions.

Here is a question, which some of you may have seen asked here befo
what wines would you recommend for a 'color blind' tasting?

The intent here is not to try to 'fool the expert', but rather to jar
some novice oenophiles into thinking (tasting) outside of their
comfort zone. (Perhaps you've met Mr. 'I only drink Cabernet' or Miss
'I don't like red wine.')

Consider this game for beginning a wine tasting party where several of
the guests may have little exposure to dry reds. Each guest will be
offered a small covered opaque cup containing wine. The game commences
and all are encouraged to close their eyes, remove the cover, and
drink the contents. Discuss what you taste: what words would you use
to describe it, here are some suggestions (handouts with scoring
pointers offered, etc.)

Now, a show of hands: was the wine you drank red? white?

More discussion. . . now, look at the underside of your cup: an 'x'
is red, an 'o' is white.

The point: regardless of color, wines are interesting, intriguing, and
delicious, so perhaps you may want to reconsider your ideas about
color preference.

Then, it's on to the 1st flight . . .

(the inspiration for this game comes from John Cleese)

Here's the question: what white and/or red wine would you offer in
this scenario?

Thanks,
