Blind Tasting Friday At Gem Wine Cellar

Blind Tasting Friday At Gem Wine Cellar

We are intrigued about a couple of tastings this week, Woodstock Wine & Deli has Oregon Pinot Noir “The Big Guns” and Gem Wine Shop has a blind tasting of 6 wines, get 5 of the varietals right and win a prize!  According to the experts, tasting blind is the best way to learn about wine, so check it out.   Also, there doesn’t seem to be that many Chianti tastings, but Garrison’s Fine Wines is featuring the Italian varietal Friday night.
