Blind tasting and flavour profiling

This is one of my favourite events. I worked with Spier wines and their winemaker, Frans, to create foods that help bring out the flavours of the wine. The idea was not a food and wine evening, but rather an exploration of Spiers various Chenin Blanc's through flavour. Each guest received a pair of blacked out sunglasses and had to slowly eat and drink their way though four wines and bites. To clean the palate in between wines, I created wine rings, little circular biscuits, which had a totally neutral taste. (You can see them hanging around the necks of the blinded guests...)
It worked wonderfully and many people complimented us, saying that they now understand what 'fruity' and 'tropical' undertones meant.
