Blind tasting competitions are all the rage and are popular with professionals and amateurs alike. These contests are a way to create a culture around wine and raise the level of interest, both within and outside the sector.

To help you learn a little more about this topic, we bring you the first choral episode of the podcast because we have had the pleasure of chatting with the team formed by Yana Markos, David Selma, Valeria Valdebenito and Paulius Gudinavicius who were champions in the National Blind Tasting Competition for teams that was held at Cavas Gramona.

They are in the chapel because on October 13 and 14 they will represent Spain in the world championship that will be held in Provence.

We talked to them about:

➔ How they and their coach have prepared for the world championship.

➔ The role of luck in tasting competitions.

➔ Managing expectations and the decision-making process for reaching an agreement.
