Jeff,
I thought for sure when you said “fruit bomb” that you were going to say it was a zinfandel… I’m afraid to ask what Kara’s reaction was after you finished your video…
Blind tasting was a lot easier 15 – 20 years ago, when the market was more dominated by CA wine varietals. A chardonnay tasted like a piece of toast. A cabernet had a classic oak aroma to it. Zinfandels were fruit forward. Merlots tasted like flat, watered down red blends. We didn’t have wines from Chile, Argentina, & other newer regions. Anyone who passes a sommelier test now has it a lot harder than back then! Kudos to them.

Thanks, Lynn.
As I watched the video back, while finishing my glass, I can’t believe I didn’t call it a Zin.
My notes were dead on, but I over-thought it.

Hey, I give you credit for posting the video even though you were wrong. It lets people know you are human and they can identify with that. Stay a wine snob-free zone!

I’ve gotta post ’em, Lynn. That way, you can be as surprised as I am when I get ’em right.
As always, thanks!
