I will be attending a fund-raiser event on Friday night that happens to be a wine tasting and competition.
Here's the catch, I'm not a wine drinker. Sure, I used to throw back a swig of Ripple back in the younger years, trying to look cool, but I never acquired a taste for any sort of wine in my adult years. I'm a bourbon guy, if and when I ever have an alcoholic beverage.
The event is happening like this:
- Form a team of one to three people and choose three bottles of the same wine to bring to the event.
- Each team will submit two of their bottles to be bagged, numbered, then put out for tasting. The third bottle will be held aside.
- All attendees can taste and rate the wine on some sort of scale.
- The team that brought the winning wine, will take home all the third bottles set aside. The loser gets to have their third bottle back to go drown their sorrows in.
So my question to you, Internet. What is a good wine, that I can go get three bottles of, that won't break the bank? I know about Two Buck Chuck, so maybe something different.
You may be thinking to yourself, Why are you asking this? You just said you are not a wine drinker. What do you need a shot at winning wine for? Gifts! I can use those bottles to take to my father-out-law when we travel up to see him. If we ever get invited to dinner where a bottle of wine might be appropriate to bring, presto! Free wine.
I thank you for any recommendations submited by y'all. Who knows, you might turn another wine lover on to your favorite.
