Chef Jim Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 well it does not say much about what will be available for tasting... Oliver you stuck up grenouille.....it's free booze!
gmac17 Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 in relation to our previous thread on wine, I saw a great study the other day about how the price of a wine has no influence as to the enjoyment by the drinker when done blind. It said that only trained wine experts enjoyed expensive wines more, and even then the difference was barely significant.
Booster4324 Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Oliver you stuck up grenouille.....it's free booze! Whine Whore! Err, I mean Wine. Actually, I have to admit to having wine tastings as the bar manager, not having much of a clue of what I was supposed to be tasting. The cuter sales reps did well though... Hell my GM and I were at one wine tasting for 4 hours, got loaded and ate a bunch of food. I think we purchased a whole case of wine for resell (no hot chicks for sales reps). Another time we purchased 12 cases of wine on a 30 minute presentation with only a few sips (hot chick).

Pete Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 yeah right ... The study was made with ten years old american girls? taste is subjective

Just Jack Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 in relation to our previous thread on wine, I saw a great study the other day about how the price of a wine has no influence as to the enjoyment by the drinker when done blind. It said that only trained wine experts enjoyed expensive wines more, and even then the difference was barely significant. yeah right ... The study was made with ten years old american girls? I remember seeing it on ABC news one morning.... Here's an article And here's the paper the people giving the study wrote.
Chef Jim Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 Will they have plenty of flat screens set up around their establishment to watch the NFL draft? I really wouldn't care. I have a life.
Chef Jim Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 i prefer to pay for good stuff than to have free sox juice! You're preaching to the choir on that. But sometimes you have to try something new and if the something new is free I'm all for it.
olivier in france Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 You're preaching to the choir on that. But sometimes you have to try something new and if the something new is free I'm all for it. i agree!!
ajzepp Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Wow, I figured this thread would be like the bat signal for Mead....16 posts and no sign of him? He must be drinking good wine
GoodBye Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 You're preaching to the choir on that. But sometimes you have to try something new and if the something new is free I'm all for it. I agree. I had some California Cabernet Franc a few days ago that was awesome! Never tried it before and it was free! The guys at the winery knew it was my birthday.
gmac17 Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Yep, I remember seeing it on ABC news one morning.... Here's an article And here's the paper the people giving the study wrote. From the abstract: Individuals who are unaware of the price do not derive more enjoyment from more expensive wine. In a sample of more than 6,000 blind tastings, we found that the correlation between price and overall rating is small and negative, suggesting that individuals on average enjoy more expensive wines slightly less.

Who was doing the tasting and what was their familiarity with wine? Also what was the price differential on the wine?
gmac17 Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Who was doing the tasting and what was their familiarity with wine? Also what was the price differential on the wine? not sure - read the paper in the link above, it was a pretty thorough and statistical analysis. I'm just about positive they didn't pick strangers off the street, ie the people were wine drinkers of some sort. People who had formal training in wine were the only ones who preferred more expensive wines, but the difference was minimal. the range in prices was $2 to $150.
