In the depths of winter and with our guides for cycling tour in the Boston office is our favorite thing to do?
Blind tasting course!
So how does this? Well, Andy Levine, founder of DuVine gave Tom Coppock, Manager of the Italian tour and Tommy Pace, Tourist Guide of French a budget of $40 and has asked to get out and find the best wine regions as we travel on our France cycling tours and Italy bicycle tours and back in for a tasting.
Blind tastings are always great fun and include lots of interesting as - terminology funky, earthy and plush, all great wines terms and the favorite "trusted nose!"
The two wines who bought were:
Chateau de 2001 Bard-Haut, St. Emilion, Bordeaux, France2006 Bianco Aldo, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy.
Two of these wines come from regions that we manage our bicycle tours and indeed Tommy climbed by exact vines that produce the Bard of Chateau-top. Thus, the big question was could Andy correctly guess wine country and the region?
You'll have to watch the video to see what happened.
