Lovely tasting of Pinot family. Every participant selected a bottle, and folks from 101 Bar shuffled and served them blind.
Most of our wine-tasting events follow the same idea. Once I have a topic (usually centred around a few bottles), I find participants and finish building the final line-up adapted to signed-up participants. And then, during the event, I serve all bottles blind. On the one hand, it gives a chance to guess the grapes, region and wine. On the other hand, it increases the subjectivity of the tasting experience. I try to avoid the loud names and the weight of the price from interfering with the participant's opinion. So we taste and share our ratings and guesses. And only then do I reveal the bottle, and we continue to the next one. Easy to follow and interesting for different levels.
This form of participation is quite passive (with no negative connotation). Sometimes I want to spice things up by engaging my fellow convives even more by delegating the selection of wine. To Each Their Own Vol. 1 is an attempt to revive the format we used a lot previously. The idea is simple - we agree on the topic (usually grapes) and budget. And then everyone brings a bottle. And then we shuffle them and serve them blindly, so you even have to guess your own bottle. This format brings so much joy!
For this event, our topic was the Pinot family. It means that the wine must be made of the following grapes (mono or blend): Pinot Noir (with all its synonyms like Pinot Nero, Spätburgunder, Blauburgunder), Pinot Gris (Pinot Grigio, Grauburgunder), Pinot Blanc (Weissburgunder), and Pinot Meunier (Schwarzriesling). So meet the United Colors of Pinot.
