“It was a Riesling immersion, and we were loving it!” says Hank Beal, Director of Adult Beverages for Nugget Markets.  “Many wines were tasted blind with a panel of experts who walked us through the wines, breaking down the unique characteristics and arriving at a conclusion of where the wine was from, Old World or New World area.  They were almost always dead on.”
