Blind tasting of five bottles of a single grape variety wine, from different regions of Spain. Members, working by table, were asked to first identify the grape variety by taste alone and what region of Spain it came from. Then followed a description of the wine with an indication of the characteristics of the region the wine originated. Members were asked if their original thoughts from before the description of the wine had changed in light of the extra knowledge from the description and most of the room were convinced it had. Maps of wine regions and a list of grape varieties were on each table and points were awarded for a correct answer and a bonus point for two correct answers.
