#twebt? WTF? The second Irish Twitter-based blind tasting is happening on Sunday, 31st of January. Okay, what the hell does all that mean?
Curious wines are following in the footsteps of Bubble Brothers who ran the firss Twitter tasting and the concept is as follows:
1. Do a blind tasting
In this case, you try a wine where the place, grape, producer (everything on the label) are hidden and you guess what the wine is.
2. Where does Twitter come in?
You share your thoughts on Twitter (using hashtag #twebt, short for Twitter Event Blind Tasting and for extra Brucey bonus points, #ttl for Twitter Taste Live).
What’s Twitter?
It’s Facebook updates without the Facebook.
What’s a hashtag?
Hashtags allow you to easily find Twitter discussions on a specific theme.
Okay, I’m in. What next?
- Order your blind tasting wine from Curious Wines (€19 including nationwide delivery)
- Make sure you’re following @brianclayton and @curiouswines or the hashtag #twebt on Twitter
- Block off a couple of hours from 8pm (GMT) Sunday, 31st January.
I’ll be there – promises to be a bit of good clean fun.
