This event is for the “brown bag” contingency that invades the Wine Watch every
Saturday afternoon. One of our best friends/customers Dr. Richard Esack started
this madness at the store and now it has become a weekly ritual. Every Saturday
at approximately 4pm friends/customers of the store arrive with their wines
covered in brown bags eager to stump the wine guy (me). Well I think its time
to take this little game to the next level. This time we will taste through 12
wines in a sit down formal style in the back room at Café Maxx and these wines
will not only be blind to the tasters, but they will also be blind to the person
conducting the tasting (me). Although I don’t know what the wines will be, my
right hand man Ward “The Hit Man” Holt will be making the selections and you can
be assured that there will be some top level wines represented as I am giving
him a healthy budget for this evening. The tasters (you) will be awarded one
point for guessing: varietal, vintage, region of origin and producer (a total of
four points for each wine). If you get all four questions correct you will
receive an additional point giving you a total of five points for your answer.
And here is the kicker- the person that gets the most points doesn’t have to
pay. The fee for this tasting is $75 all-inclusive, for reservations call
954-523-9463.

Where is Cafe Maxx located? BTW are Marks Place and Chef Allens still highly regarded restaurants in the Miami area? In the late '80's and early 90's these were 2 of the best restaurants around.
