Our July 2026 event themes will follow a focus on the “deductive tasting method”, also known as “blind tasting”, which professional sommeliers study in their pursuit to master the classic wine styles of the world. Our first event for July will focus on mineral-laced white wines, and light-pigmented red wines, to showcase how structure, fruit aromas, and nuances of grape variety can all be used as clues.
All wines will be presented blind, including the features below, plus other surprises! This will be an educational return to truly evoke the “Blind Tasting Buddies” name, and we look forward to showcasing some great info in the events for this month.
