We have the date -- March 6, 2010.We have the wine -- Malbec (mostly) from Chateau Chambert in Cahors, France.
We have the winery owner -- Philippe Lejeune, whose personal connection to Boston (before he became a winemaker in France, that is) is intimate.
What we want to know is, how can we organize this tasting so that you, our guests, will get the most out of it?
Think about it a minute.
We want you to taste the wines, of course.
We want you to hear from the winery owner.
We want you to go home with a better handle on Malbecs than you did when you arrived.
That's where we start. And that's where we end. What happens in between, is for you to tell us.
To get the ball rolling, we put together this survey.
Go on, take it. It's free. Multiple choice. No obligation, etc.
But notice the last question: Tell us how YOU want to experience the wines.
It's a fill in the blank, meaning you've got free license to be as elaborate (or as simple) as you like. Three readers who submit the best ideas will win two tickets to the tasting.
Which will be arranged, naturally, exactly as you'd like.
