Ding! Ding! Ding! Round 1 of the NWWTY 2012 Tasting Games will soon begin.
Our first virtual tasting features Nicolas Bazan Wines.
Dr. Nicolas Bazan, owner of Nicolas Bazan Wines, will be joining me on Wednesday, February 25th at 6:00pm PST to share the story of his wine.

Not only will we be talking. We’ll be tasting as well.
(Yes. I love my job.)

The 2007 Mis Nietos, 2008 Una Vida & 2009 Haydee will be opened & explored, as I will be joined by the first tasting team to compete in the 2012 Tasting Games - the Blue Tooth Wine Society from Arizona. Together we’ll define each wine in our own words as we share our thoughts on what we see, smell & taste. During this virtual tasting, the team will gain participation points for every comment they contribute to the conversation.

Here’s a little prelude to the pouring.
Dr. Nicolas Bazan is a neuroscientist who resides in New Orleans. He is the Director of the Neuroscience Center of Excellence at the LSU Health Sciences Center. Born in Argentina, his dedication & devotion to studying the mind brought him to New York (Columbia University) and Boston (Harvard) for his education. A neuroscientist by day, Dr. Bazan became a novelist by night. He wrote a story named after the main character in his book - ‘Una Vida’ which translates to ‘One Life’. Another translation to mention is that of his book being translated into a movie that is soon to be released.

A book. A movie. It doesn’t stop there. Una Vida is also a wine.
The Nicolas Bazan Una Vida Pinot Noir has a story all its own to tell.

Want to join us for the first virtual tasting of the 2012 Tasting Games?
We’d love to have you join us as we taste the three expressions of Pinot Noir from Nicolas Bazan Wines and talk to Dr. Nicolas Bazan himself. As a spectator, you are certainly welcome to sip along at home and participate in our online conversation if you wish. Here’s what you will need to do.




Cheers,
