About the event
Blind Tasting: France vs. South Africa | Dare to Test Your Palate 🕵️♂️🍷
Old World elegance meets New World energy. Same grape, different continent, totally blind. Do you know your Bordeaux from your Stellenbosch? Your Loire Valley from your Swartland? It’s time to find out.
We’re stripping away the labels, wrapping the bottles, and leaving it all up to your senses. We challenge you to strip away your biases, trust your tongue, and see if you can spot the French classics from the South African heavyweights.
What’s on the Line:
The Ultimate Smokescreen: We’ll be pouring curated flights featuring side-by-side varietals (think crisp Chenin Blancs, elegant Chardonnays, and bold Syrah/Shiraz blends) from both iconic French terroirs and South Africa’s finest boutique producers.
