at Luma<\/p>\n

November 23, 2013 at 6:00 pm<\/p>\n

The challenge here was to identify the wine that doesn’t match the other two in each set of three. And of course to name what they all are, blind. As if.<\/p>\n

I was very proud of our group, as many of us got most of them right, and kudos to John Henline, who got them all!<\/p>\n

Favorite wine of the nine tasted blind was the 1945 Ch. Leoville Las Cases, which received ten unanimous first place votes.<\/p>\n

My highest scores were the two final wines, 2001 Haut Brion Blanc (98 pts) and 1885 Verdelho Madiera (99 pts). It was truly amazing, and matched every course it was served with.<\/p>\n
