Palo Alto Blind Wine Society

🍷 Heads up: Seats are capped to keep tastings focused. If it’s full, join the waitlist — spots almost always open. Please update your RSVP early if your plans change.

🍷 Palo Alto Blind Wine Society

Taste. Learn. Guess. Repeat.

We’re a community of wine lovers, sommeliers-in-training, and curious sippers who meet weekly in Palo Alto to refine our palates through blind tasting. Each week, we explore 4–8 wines blind—working through sight, nose, palate, and structure before the reveal.

What to Expect
• Structured blind tasting format with deductive sheets
• Weekly rotating themes (Cabernet showdown, Spanish reds, bubbles, Italy’s gems, etc.) of testable wines
• Friendly, inclusive discussion — no wine snobbery
• A professional yet relaxed setting for learning and connection

How It Works
• Bring 1 bottle each that matches the theme (wrapped to stay blind); $25+ suggested spend (K&L is a great option)
• I provide glassware, water, light snacks, tasting sheets, and guided discussion
• Attendance is capped; if full, join the waitlist
• Please update your RSVP if you can’t attend so another member can join

Who Should Join
• Wine professionals (restaurant, retail, winery, distributor)
• Students of wine certifications (CMS, WSET, SWS, etc.)
• Curious beginners eager to learn by tasting
• Anyone who loves wine, community, and a good challenge

📅 Monday Nights @ 7:00 PM
