One of the most important jobs we have as winemakers is to train our palates to be able to distinguish truly outstanding wines from those that are merely nice. The best way to do this is to taste, taste, taste - we taste wines from all kinds of vineyards made in a variety of styles. It is a grueling job, but hey, no one said this would be easy! Here's your chance to get involved in this process.
We have asked some of the best wine merchants in Maryland to recommend Bordeaux Blends that are comparably priced to our 2020 Crumbling Rock. Black Ankle's Ed Boyce will lead a blind tasting of wines (including the Crumbling Rock, of course!). The tasting will be accompanied by discussions of the strengths, weaknesses, and interesting points of each wine. As a group, we will also rank the wines from favorite to least favorite. Once the identities of the wines are revealed, we will look at when, how, and where they were made and how their cultivation has affected the finished wines. This is definitely a five-star day for the serious (or aspiring) wine geeks out there.
Light Appetizers will be provided to help keep your palate fresh.
Honestly, we could not be more excited to host this event, and we can’t wait to see how our Crumbling Rock stands up against the rest!
