Double blind or Who's got the palette now.
When you do a blind taste test of wine all the information that may bias your judgement (varietal, producer, appellation, and vintage) are hidden from the tester so that they don't pick a Bordeaux as best over something from California, just because it is a Boardeaux.
Testers can also tell a lot by the color, clarity and hue of a wine that they're tasting.
A manufacturer of fine wine stemware, Reidel, has come up with the Blind Blind tasting glass. I'd love to get one just because they're so cool looking. However, at $59 per stem I don't think I'll be buying enough of them to outfit an 8 person dinner party.

I am looking to purchase one of the Reidel Blind Blind Tasting glasses for my boss who owns
Huff Estates Winery Inc. in Prince Edward County
close to Belleville Ontario Canada.
Can you tell me who the local distributor is ?
Thank You
Charlene
