Same Loft Red. Two closures. Two years later—two different expressions. Blind tasting + reveal + vote. Limited series kickoff.
Preview session • intentionally limited seating.
Two years ago, we bottled Loft Red (Chambourcin) two ways: part under natural cork, part under Stelvin screwcap.
Same wine. Same vintage. Same winemaker. Same vineyard.
Two years later—they taste surprisingly different.
This is the kickoff of our limited series. We’ll taste blind first, then reveal which is which, talk through what changed and why, and finish with a vote: Team Cork or Team Stelvin.
What to expect (75 minutes):
- Welcome + quick story behind the closure experiment
- Blind side-by-side tasting: Loft Red (Cork) vs Loft Red (Stelvin)
- Reveal + guided discussion (aroma, texture, finish, aging)
- Vote moment + Q&A
- Optional bottle sales afterward (limited)
Included with your ticket:
- Guided, seated tasting experience
- Side-by-side pours of Loft Red under both closures
- An additional pour for context / palate reset
- Light snack
- “Team Cork vs Team Stelvin” vote moment
