Each month at a glance…
The Open Label Zoom Meetups are available for any member, and with any relatable wines you purchase!
The Blind Tasting Meetups are only available to those who purchase the blind tasting kits through our partner retailers! Why? – Blind Tasting with a group doesn’t work well unless everyone is able to compare the same or similar bottles. There are so many styles of a variety, and for blind tasting purposes, it’s important for a wine to be fairly classic/benchmark. Not because these are the only “good wines”…but knowing what is “typical” for a variety or region, creates a baseline of understanding (it’s also what they pull for exams). I work through partner retailers to get you wines that match!

Do I have to be a student or can this just be done as a fun monthly activity?
Open Label lineups are especially geared for all! Enthusiasts benefit from learning more about varieties and regions, and students can practice and build on what they know!
The Blind Tasting format was created with students in mind. This group is ideal if you are studying for a blind tasting portion of an exam (as it mimics an in-person blind tasting group and follows an exam format). It’s also open to those who want to sit in and learn the ins and outs of blind tasting…or just get started! We have all levels present, and it’s incredibly welcoming!
There is also the option to practice the blind tasting individually by purchasing wines and watching the related videos on your own time, and then joining the Zoom meetup whenever you are comfortable!
Where do the wines come from?
Blind Tasting lineups are sent via Accent Wine if you choose to join the call. Sometimes Accent is unable to ship to your state. If that is your situation, I have other partner retailers and I’m able to find similar wines! Please reach out HERE if Accent is unable to ship to your state! (Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, OR Utah)
*Blind Tasting with a group doesn’t work well unless everyone is able to compare the same (or very similar) bottles, so this group doesn’t have a self-purchase option for the call. However, there are lists for you to download and purchase our lineup on your own (or send to a partner/friend to purchase and pour for you) if you want to practice independently!
How many wines are included?
For Open Label you can order as many bottles as you’d like! The best experience would be to grab a bottle for each variety/region listed on the wine list (wines 1-3). Sometimes the wine lists include ‘optional wines’ if you want to taste more than 3! I would suggest tasting along with at least 2 wines, so you can compare them!
Blind Tasting kits include 3 bottles (can be any assortment of whites/reds based on our theme).
*If you are ordering from Accent, you have a 3-bottle or a 6-bottle option! The 3-bottle is what we use on our Zoom meetup, and the 6-bottle includes those wines PLUS a bonus set of three (this is a perfect setup if you are studying for an exam and want extra bottles for practice!)
Can I join the calls with a group?
Can I pause or cancel my membership
On the Hub page there will be a button that says ‘manage my account’ that you can click on to either pause for the next month, or cancel. You will always get an email a week before your subscription renews.
