An
incredible array of palates will gather to assess the best of
the best at the Cabernet Sauvignon finals on November 26, 2007.
CABERNET
SAUVIGNON SHOOTOUT FINALS
Defining Cabernet Styles
The
Cabernet Sauvignon Shootout will explore and assess different
styles of Cabernet. We will denote the descriptors and scores
of the panelists and if there is a definitive difference, we will
describe the wines as experienced by the female and male panelists
in an attempt to discover whether women and men prefer different
wine styles.
Affairs
of the Vine and Wine Works will conduct The Cabernet Sauvignon
Shootout prelims throughout October and November. The final judging
will be conducted on Monday, November 26, 2007.
Articles
featuring The Cabernet Sauvignon Shootout will appear in numerous
wine publications.
The
finalists will be showcased at a special Cabernet Sauvignon Shootout
event in the coming months for consumers, press and trade.
The
comments and reactions to the wines will be accessible on the
Affairs
of the Vine website and will be posted in late December,
2007.
