Venue: Boot and Flogger - Red room - booked
The plan:
To purchase two dozen different bottles of LBV from Portugal Vineyards and have them shipped directly to the B&F
Four flights of six bottles, two flights from the 2017 vintage and two from the 2018 vintage
Each flight compromising five young Turks - producers we rarely see as VP, bottling LBV with driven corks - and one reference bottle, a major well known brand, which may or may not be T stoppered.
The young Turks to be served fully sighted, the reference bottle blind, to see how many can guess it correctly.
After each flight attendees are asked to identify and retain the two glasses they found most impressive, which may or may not include the reference bottle, and either down or dump the remaining four.
From the final eight retained glasses, they are then asked to identify their six favourites, scoring from one to six.
Slightly different arrangements to our normal routine for placemats and scoring, I'm thinking I'll probably print each attendee a set of stickers they can put on the placemats to remind them of their retained glasses.
