And just what is a blind wine tasting? Here are the rules: Come as a team of four. Each team must bring four bottles of the SAME WINE. There is not a designated wine, so bring your favorite. Upon arrival, three of your team’s bottles are opened and placed in a bag to hide their identify, randomly numbered and set out to taste. The remaining bottle is placed in reserve. Doors open at 6 p.m. Beginning at 7, you can taste the wines, enjoy food and entertainment and socialize with other hip tasters. Votes will be placed for “best” wine and the winning team will take home the reserve bottles. In addition to the wine tasting, a cash bar will be available.
Cost: In advance, $10 per person for team of four; individual tickets $25. At the door (cash please they ask), $25 per individual or team participant. All proceeds benefit United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Birmingham, serving more than 2,000 infants, children and adults with disabilities. Presented by the UCP Junior Board.
