Yes, We’re Doing This Again - a Blind Tasting of Pinot Noir

When: 
Thursday, May 21, 2026
6 pm
Where: 

The Lucas & Lewellen Tasting Room

We’re bringing it back.

A true blind tasting. No labels. No price points. No reputations. Just what’s in the glass.

On Thursday, May 21st at 6:00 pm, we’ll gather 30 curious members to taste our Pinot Noir blindly against several highly regarded and more expensive examples from similar regions.

No one — including Mike, Louis, and Megan if they're able to join us — will know which wine is ours until the very end.

This isn’t a polished seminar. It’s not scripted. It’s not a sales pitch.

This is wine in its most honest form.

Years ago, a blind Pinot tasting humbled us publicly. It was uncomfortable. It was unforgettable. But Megan McGrath Gates arrived and changed our Pinot program forever and we haven't released even a marginal Pinot since.

So we’re doing this again, publicly, despite the fact that we said we never would.

We’ll taste.
We’ll rank.
We’ll reveal.
We’ll see what the glasses say.

If we land at the bottom, be gentle with us. We'll claim it was a bad bottle.
If we land at the top, we’ll try to act surprised.

Either way, it will be transparent. You decide.

$35 each. 30 seats only. Members get first access to tickets.

4 glasses of wine with two white labels with question marks for a blind tasting
