Blind Taste Opus One vs. $25 Rivals!
Saturday February 27th, 2010
11am - 8pm
All Day Long
  
Blind Tastings are always a crowd favorite at winestore and every year, at the end of every February, we always put one of the most famous names in wine into the gauntlet....Opus One (we're pretty sure the people at Opus One love this idea!).
Ahhh, Opus One. The brainchild of the late Robert Mondavi and Baron Phillipe de Rothschild that is a Napa Valley landmark (I mean, the building is really cool!). You may not even like wine or drink wine and you have heard of Opus One. The real question is - If you were to taste the wine and not know that it is Opus One, could you pick it out? If you did not know the price, could not see the label etc. would it still taste better to you than a wine that costs 83% less? Well, it's time to find out!
That is why we're playing "Find the Opus One" this Saturday. It's simple really. The wines will all be tasted blind. One of them will be Opus One and the others will be an assortment of wines at every price point from a number of different regions. All you have to do is taste and pick your favorite. Yes, that's right, your favorite. If that's the Opus One, then great, if not, well that's OK too. You may be surprised as to what your favorites actually are. Given that Opus sells for north of $100 it is always interesting to see if there are wines that cost $9, $25, $50 or even $75 (which is almost 50% off Opus One!) that taste better. Some come on in for some tasting fun on Saturday and enjoy some great wine! Become a Fan on Facebook by clicking  |
