The Wines<\/h2>\n

This event offered a collection of mini horizontals. They didn’t prove much of a challenge to sort out blind, and nearly everyone got most of them right. The flight winners were the Bonnes Mares, Giscours and DRC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Following the tasting I served three wines blind They turned out to all be the same wine, Troublemaker, a GSM blend. But one had been frozen for two months, and one had been in my trunk for two months. The favorite was the trunk wine, by a narrow margin. The only obviously flawed wine was the frozen one, but I think the damage was simply slight geranium scent from having a bit of air let into the bottle prior to freezing to make sure the bottle wouldn’t burst. Next time I would try it without doing that.<\/p>\n
