The blind tasting will be conducted in the Court of Master Sommeliers' tasting

A panel of local San Diego Sommeliers will taste along with the audience and
try to establish the varietal, region and vintage. Each panel member will talk
through why the particular wine's color, aroma, and palate lead them to believe
they know the wine's properties and characteristics. This year's panel includes
Sommelier Tasha Elkovitch of Wine Steals, Sommelier Elizabeth Heuttinger of
Addison, and Advanced Sommelier Joshua Orr of Marina Kitchen.
Taste from six exceptional wines along with our expert panel and test your
