So, You Think You Know Wine? Episode #2.6 – Pierre Sparr Gewurztraminer 2009

Welcome to the final episode of the round robin of “So, You Think You Know Wine? – The Tournament”.  Join our critics as they rise to a blind tasting challenge to identify the grape, country, region, year and price of the mystery wine.

Season two is in a tournament format, with six preliminary rounds and two elimination semi-finals leading to a championship round.  This is round six which will determine the final ranking going into the elimination semi-finals.

Host Amil Niazi guides David Lawrason, John Szabo MS, Steve Thurlow, Sara d’Amato, Jennifer Huether and Zoltan Szabo through the blind tastings.

There are four parameters the critics are scored on for up to 10 points per wine :
• Varietal = up to 3 points for varietal or style
• Location = up to 3 points (2pts for Country and 1pt for Region)
• Vintage = up to 2 points (2pts for exact year, 1pt for +/- 1 year)
• Price = up to 2 points (2pts for +/- 2.5% of price, 1pt for +/- 10% of price)

After five rounds John’s lead looks insurmountable and Zoltan is stuck in last place.  To see how Jennifer, John and Zoltan do in round six, and to see the final rankings of the round robin click here. This episode features the Pierre Sparr Gewurztraminer 2009 .
