Landing page captured for the 2026-11-06 issue.
For
Friends hosting a casual blind wine tasting
Worth noticing
Hosts can choose up to three library bottles; each guest privately selects no more than five tasting notes before the simultaneous reveal.

Field notes

The page walks through a host-led session: choose up to three bottles from a library, send a text or email link, and have guests enter names without accounts. Its sample round is Napa Cabernet, with a five-note selection cap and a simultaneous reveal; the scoring rubric distinguishes exact critic or winemaker matches, close cousins, and out-of-character notes. The site also displays a 21+ notice and links to terms and privacy.
