Took part in this national wine contest with two fellow members of one of the tasting clubs I am a member of.
10 Red wines, 14 possible countries of origin given. Per wine, 5 possible countries. The rest (vintage, winery, grape variety, appellation) you had to make up yourself. Not exactly a walk in the park. We managed to get one 100% correct, though. I suggested California, Gijs added "Zinfandel" and Bauke wrote down "Ravenswood, Sonoma, 2003)
Remarkable wine: the 2002 McRae Wood by Jim Barry. Great aroma, it would be easiest to write down what could not be smelled in this very complex blockbuster style wine!
Ended 18th (out of 27 teams competing). Not bad for a first time and it leaves room for improvement next year ...
