Sam. Justin.
Three wines.
Poured blind.
Denver based, we travel for a taste.
We go to a restaurant and their wine person picks three wines for Sam Maher and Justin Freeman to blind. We keep score for varietal, country, and vintage. Those three wines are paired with one dish. The question is, which wine pairs best? Even when they get no points, when the plate is empty you know Sam and Justin are both winners.
