Yay for blind tasting groups! We tasted Loire reds and whites at my last tasting group (which has become known as the Wednesday Wine Share) We tasted 3 whites and 4 reds. The whites were fairly easy to guess but the reds.. who knew Cabernet Francs could taste so different from one another! I would have never known that without my wine group.

Ah, Steve, this is the way to evaluate wines, using a tasting panel. You had a range of palates, in your estimation, yet a unanimity of results (made more predictable by this particular flight). This solidifies the value of the findings. But what about tastings where the results diverge, or where the majority opinion differs from yours?
