Hi all!  I’m hosting my first Twitter Taste Live event called “The Battle of the Valleys.”  Go out, buy a bottle of the Honig Sauvignon Blanc, produced in the Napa Valley, and a bottle of Kunde Sauvignon Blanc, produced in the Sonoma Valley.  Wednesday, April 8th, go onto your Twitter account and tell me what you think and who you choose as the winner.  The format of your 140 character post should be as follows:

@moodywine…your review here…#ttl

For those of you that don’t have a Twitter account, feel free to email me your reactions to this tasting at info@moodywine.com.

This will be the first of my Battle of the Valleys Series, in which I pick two wine making regions and they battle it out live on Twitter or via email.  I will compile the results and blog the winner.  This is putting the power into the consumers hands….stay tuned!

When: April 8th, Wednesday

Where: Twitter or email

What: Honig vs Kunde Sauvignon Blanc Taste Off

    Great concept…thanks for the introduction to the same varietal from different areas…I think the manner in which these wines were made or treated might explain some of the differences the Honig is very clean where for my taste the Kunde has developed more characterand depth, a friendlier wine..

    Thanks for the challenge.

    I used to love Kunde’s wines, especially the Magnolia Lane sauvignon blanc, and I really appreciated their modest cost. But I visited a month ago and tasted through their current releases — the Magnolia Lane was lamentably absent — and I went from being disappointed to appalled, both by the exorbitant pricing and by weird “off” flavors like nail polish remover and soap. I thought it might be my glass, so I asked for a fresh one, but I (and my wife) continued to be shocked at how the appealing price/quality ratio at Kunde seems to have been utterly reversed. We left with a sad feeling in our hearts. I feel that in this competition it doesn’t have a chance against Honig.
