Wine-Tasting with a Spin!
The Bacchanalian Society offers a unique competitive approach to wine-tasting! Guests attend the event in teams of one to three people, bringing three bottles of the same Pinot Noir per team. For example, if you have three members on your team you will bring three bottles of one Pinot Noir. If you have two or even one member on your team, you will still bring three bottles of the same Pinot Noir.

Remember: 1, 2 or 3 people will bring three bottles of wine – a 4th person, triggers three more bottles. 


Two bottles of each team’s wine will be opened for tasting, the third will be bagged and set aside. Throughout the event, attendees will taste and rate each others’ wines to decide on the winning Pinot Noirs. As their prize, the 5 highest-ranking teams will receive equal shares of the unopened Pinot Noir to take home.
