Humorous (but serious) article on "wine-educated" folks who can't tell the difference between good and bad wine.
http://www.theatlantic.com/life/archive/2011/10/you-are-not-so-smart-why-we-cant-tell-good-wine-from-bad/247240/
'You Are Not So Smart': Why We Can't Tell Good Wine From Bad Presentation, price, marketing, and service -- it all leads to an expectation of quality. The actual experience of tasting the wine is less important.
First Wine Club event is on September 20th featuring red wines and will be led by wine expert Mark Lewis from Yapa Kitchen!!! See you there!
