Can you guess the wine? When we ask “Guess the wine”, we mean exactly the varietal, region, and vintage. By performing a deductive tasting we can assess the wine to a point we can get pretty darn close. So WineClubMiami held a Blind tasting.

You have 5 minute to make your selection.
Vinho Verde Monçao e Melgaço 2015, A nice starter refreshing wine. It cleansed the palette off the nose. The light hints of minerals on the nose gave a old world smell, but the youth of the wine gave us a curve in the region. The texture and finished we balanced with slight effervescence.. A nice bottle for the price.
Cervaro Della Sala, Antinori 2014. I slipped and said the C word when they 
asked which glass was which of the whites. I said this is definitely a Chardonnay!!!!!! The oak on the nose and taste was amazing. No hints of butter so we went old world. Aged well. Hold or drink now.
Quarry Vineyard, Nickel & Nickel. 2011. The complexity and the color was 
powerful. Dark ruby and a secondary black color. On the nose it was pure dark ripe fruit. Blackberry, ripe cherries with some earthy. Not your typical Cab Nap. Collect this one.
Alter Ego, Chateau Palmer, Margaux. 2010. Amazing bottle. We will not tell 
you! Go a buy this bottle at $100 so you can experience a beautiful bottle of a Left Bank Bordeaux. The blend was to beg for more.
Alion, Bodegas y Vinedos. 2011. This was the curveball blind. The 
complexity, depth, transformation as it opened up. Where the hell was this from. I love you we all said to the bottle. The Jeff Tenen whispers, it’s a Tempranillo Wes. Great bot!
