BlindWine – Wine Tasting Game for Wine Tasting Parties

I Recently went to the San Francisco Fancy Food Show to scout out exciting new high-end food products. There were many incredible types of food there. However, If you are a olive oil connoisseur you will find Bella Luna Foods has earned their place for having the highest quality extra virgin olive oil that came off the press first with low processing temperatures. You will also find that the packaging has a touch of class where you would be proud to have it on your dinner table or send it as a gift. You can get more information regarding Bella Luna Foods at www.bellalunafoods.com .

Last Friday I took a chance on a wine that is gaining popularity because of the fun label "Lucky Duck" and the $3.00 price tag. Obviously, to sustain the sales the wine has got to be one step above tolerable. I thought I would put the BlindWine scoring methods to the test. The following are the scores.

Clarity (0-5) - 3
The clarity is a very deep red with very little cloudiness. It is a full bodied cabernet. I gave it an average score of 3 points for clarity.
Aroma (0-10) - 6
The nose on this wine has a very rich, cherry aroma with hints of blackberries.
Taste (0-15) - 10

Wine Tasting 101 - Holiday Entertaining With Wine

What is Corked Wine? -- powered by eHow.com

Recently I was looking to buy about 10 cases of wine for a Halloween party. I knew that my guests would not drink all the wine at the party and I would be left with a few cases. This was a great opportunity to stock my wine cellar with leftovers. I looked at Costco and BevMo, but none of these stores had an expert that would work with me one on one to select the best wines. Also, they didn't offer delivery and I didn't want to haul 10 cases of wine up the stairs. So a friend of mine recommend a specialty grocery store called Draegers. They have locations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
