Well for those of you who have been in such a situation, the Wine Society threw a wine tasting event on March 20th that was right up your alley. This event was one of the most successful events we have had in terms of turnout, and the informal party setting was a hit, as people were simultaneously able to catch up with their friends and enjoy the wine. At the event, we had 5 different types of red wines wrapped in colored paper - Blue, Purple, Pink, Green, and White. During the evening, students came by and tried all 5 of the wines, and decided their personal favorites in terms of color.
Some women couldn t get enough of the pink wine, while others loved the blue.
Opinions diverged but overall, the white and purple wines seemed to be the most popular. Each wine represents a category of wines that are affordable and very good. The Cabernet Sauvignon grape is the source of some of the greatest red Bordeaux wines but also is successfully cultivated in California, Australia and Chile. Usually dry, Cabernet based wines can range in style from light to full-bodied. The Rapel Valley has a good reputation for full flavored red wines as international wineries have made significant investments in Chile during the last decade.
