Taste Silver Oak Blind vs. $25 Rivals!
Saturday January 6th, 2024
9am - 8pm
All Day Long!!
Featuring 2019 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet
It's time for the 15th Silver Oak Blind Tasting.
It is BACK.
The blind tasting that put our blind tastings on the map, is making its first appearance since January 23rd, 2020 👀. Which might as well have been 8 million years ago 😂
It's the tasting that brought you winners like Rockus Bockus ($12.99), Gun Bun Mountain Cuvee ($14.99), Ca' Momi ($7.99) , BR Cohn Silver Label ($18.99), Treana Red Blend ($24.99) and more. It's the tasting that brings the stars of the wine world to their knees.
It almost seems unfair, I mean a Maserati is supposed to go faster than a Yugo, and a $60 wine is supposed to taste better than a $12 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 barking 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 Silver Oak" this Saturday. It's simple really. The wines will all be tasted blind on our tasting machines. One of them will be 2019 Silver Oak Alexander Valley 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 load up your card with $8.00, taste all eight wines (you don't have to taste all 8 if you don't want to, but it's more fun if you do!), and pick your favorite. Yes, that's right, your favorite. If that's the Silver Oak, 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 - this is always a fun event! We'll release the winners next Tuesday!
