#1 Comment from every single end of year feedback / message box is always "more blind tastings!"...so we're just gonna start the year off right, and give the people what they want!
This Saturday we're hosting the OG, the original, the groundbreaker blind tasting - our Silver Oak Blind Tasting.
We first hosted this event in January of 2007...which seems like a long time ago! I anticipate though this will be our favorite yet!
Also, for the third year in a row here at winestore., once you complete the tasting and vote for your favorite wine, you will be entered to win some Silver Oak - and this year we are raffling off NINE Magnums of Silver Oak Alexander Valley!
Possible way to spice up your next party? I think so.... 😂
It's the tasting that brought you winners like Seigneur de Feu ($12.99), Rockus Bockus ($12.99), Gun Bun Mountain Cuvee ($14.99), Ca' Momi ($7.99) , BR Cohn Silver Label ($18.99), Treana Red Blend ($24.99) Snowvale ($12.99) and more. It's the tasting that brings the stars of the wine world to their knees.
It almost seems unfair, I mean a Maserati is supposed to go faster than a Yugo, and a $60 wine is supposed to taste better than a $12 one. Right? Well, maybe not. A wine's success isn't measured in MpH, it's measured in the taste that is transferred from the glass to your mouth. If you don't know the price, can't see the label, and can't hear someone barking in your ear about the wine's "score," then all that is left is the juice and your taste buds. It's a scary proposition for any winemaker. That's why you have marketing departments that design catchy labels, create campaigns to build a wine's image, and spend all of their time and energy essentially trying to convince consumers that a wine is great. The problem is that you can't out "market" a blind tasting.
Which is why we're playing "Find the Silver Oak" this Saturday. It's simple really. The wines will all be tasted blind on our tasting machines. One of them will be 2021 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet 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 load up your card with $8.00, taste all eight wines (you don't have to taste all 8 if you don't want to, but it's more fun if you do!), and pick your favorite. Yes, that's right, your favorite. If that's the Silver Oak, then great, if not, well that's OK too. You may be surprised as to what your favorites actually are.
We hope to see you Saturday - this is always a fun event! We'll release the winners next Tuesday!
