Bags for blind tasting


When we had the Garnacha vs Tempranillo dinner, we did a blind tasting of the red wines, and the Grill Room staff put the wines in these bags, which belong to the KCC Wine Society. Now I had been rather busy these last couple of years or so and had only attended their dinners very intermittently and I had not seen these before and so I cannot tell for how long they have been using these bags. Blind tasting the wines had been something they have been doing right from the very beginning; I recall what might have been the inaugural dinner in 1998, and we blind tasted 6 clarets. Before these nice bags, I recall we used to wrap everything in aluminium foil, but these bag bring extra class to the proceedings.
