This Saturday is my favorite event of the ENTIRE year.
Our Annual Caymus Cabernet Blind Tasting!
And this year we're changing it up a bit. Given we've been doing these now for over 15 years, we have a long list of past champions that are still crushing it.
So this Saturday it will be Caymus against 7 past winners of this tasting...all blind. A tournament of champions if you will!
I'm getting fired up just writing about it!!
Caymus Cabernet is one of the hottest selling wines in any given year, but if we placed it in a lineup with less expensive offerings, and in this instance less expensive offerings that WAY outdrink their price point - could you pick it out? Would it still be your favorite?
We're going to find out this weekend!
I mean, a Ducati is supposed to go faster than a bicycle, and a $70 wine is supposed to taste better than a $20 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 waxing poetic 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 Caymus Cabernet" this Saturday. The format is simple really. Eight wines will all be tasted blind on our tasting machines each at a cost of $1.00. ($8 to get through the whole tasting) One of them will be the 2023 Caymus 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 taste and pick your favorite. Yes, that's right, your favorite. If that's the Caymus, 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 - we can't wait to see who the winner will be!
