Slate Wine Tasting

I like this idea. Slate is holding an online wine tasting. Well, actually, it is a traditional wine tasting hosted by Slate's wine critic, Mike Steinberger, but it does have an online component.

This Wednesday, August 26th, Mike will be tasting the following wines:

• Domaine des Aubisieres Vouvray Silex 2007
• Les Heritiers du Comte Lafon Macon 2007
• Domaines Ott Cote de Provence Rose les Domaniers 2008
• Jean-Paul Brun/Domaine des Terres Dorees Beaujolais l'Ancien 2008
• Betts & Scholl Grenache O.G. 2006
• Ruinart NV Blanc de Blancs

If you are in New York you can e-mail Mike to see if he has any tickets left, otherwise you can follow the tasting on Twitter at @SlateWine. He is also encouraging those playing at home to post their thoughts on the wine as well.

That's the part I really like. While Mike is certainly an expert at what he does and, in my opinion, one of the better wine critics out there, it is always nice to hear a variety of opinions on a wine. So, if you have the time to locate some of these wines, feel free to participate, otherwise you can sit back and see what other people think.
