Gary Hoffman is representing the Advisory Board in hosting this event as a benefit for the SVCI, "In 40 years of wine tastings, never have I seen this entertaining and educational approach taken". Wine tastings typically ask participants to rank one or two wines based on their preferences among them. In this exciting version, “The Ultimate Wine Tasting Challenge”, a prize and a trophy will be awarded to the person most successful in identifying the grapes used to create the wines including Rousanne, Nebbiolo, …2 tiebreaker wines have been selected to be used as needed.
Space is quite limited so applicants are urged to register quickly on the SVCI website. Starting time is 6PM prompt with a projected quit time of 7:30PM for those who want to hang around after tasting.
