WELCOME TO the ARGAUX BLIND TASTING KIT
Here at Argaux, wine education starts with tasting. We hope Argaux can help keep the good vibes rolling, the conversation light-hearted, and your glasses half full!
The absolute best way to learn about (and enjoy) wine is to taste it—so we encourage you to gather some friends, family or colleagues, open up your senses, pop these bottles and TASTE.
In this kit you’ll find the wines thoughtfully wrapped to conceal their identities, DO NOT UNWRAP— and a guide which provides instructions on How-To Blind Taste, an overview of Varietals and Regions, Tips and Tricks and the Infamous ‘Grid,’ giving you necessary the structure to deductively taste wine and recognize unique characteristics linked to specific varietals and regions. As Sommeliers, we’ve been tested on this very same grid and now it’s your turn to MAKE A CALL. Happy tasting!

HOW DO I HOST A GROUP TASTING?
Simply add as many kits to your cart and select “ship to multiple addresses” at checkout! Everyone in the group will receive the same wines. Or, if you’re placing individual orders, you can include the original order number in the ‘notes’ section at checkout indicating you would like “all of these orders to have the same wines.”
Do You Have Any First Time Suggestions
Our wine tasting kits are designed for anyone, from beginners to trained sommeliers—no experience necessary!
If you’re hosting a tasting for the first time, we recommend setting aside at least an hour for the experience. You’ll want to have clean glassware for each type of wine, plus a few pens handy to take notes on the grids included in your kit.
