Think You Know Wine? – Episode 8.2

Join us live on Saturday, Feb. 26 at 5 p.m.

As John mentioned in the last episode of “Think You Know Wine?” on Feb 5, we’re breaking out of the mold and changing the rules of engagement for our popular blind tasting game show. Until now, we have been relying on sponsors for the bottles that our intrepid blind tasters evaluate (and we are grateful for the quality wines they provided!). But, ever the independent critics, and by demand of the ‘talent’, we’re taking full control over the wines featured in the show, freeing ourselves of the oppressive yoke of sponsorship! We feel this way we can bring even higher quality, appellation-representative wines with the WineAlign stamp of approval into the discussion, improve the collateral educational angle of the show, and ensure that you enthusiastic viewers who purchase to taste along with the crü have top-notch wines in your glasses (and give our critics a fighting chance to guess them correctly!). Each wine, as for everything under the WineAlign banner, will be chosen for its quality, value, typicity, and availability.

To cover the costs of our radical re-write of the rules (we can’t wish those away), we ask that you put down a reasonable $10 per registration to unlock the secret list of wines. That’s less than a 5oz glass in a decent restaurant, a couple of fancy lattes, or a kilo of fresh champagne grapes, but so much more valuable! And that’s $10 per screen whether you’re home alone studying for your sommelier exam, or in a house jammed full of wine lovers huddled around one screen and sharing costs. We only ask that you don’t spill the beans (to your neighbours or any of the critics, even if they beg)! 🤫. We’ll ensure that all wines will be widely available at the LCBO so you can purchase one or all of them ahead of time to taste along with those poor critics. We hope that you think this show is worth it. We sure have fun doing it from the back end.
