In Reply to: Re: I too have hung out with wine, beer and coffee people. Never once... posted by Mahatma Kane Jeeves on March 19, 2006 at 13:30:32:
Numerous times I have walked into an office (or room) where dozens of bottles are on the table and "pros" are trying them; none were wrapped. And I have gone on barrel tastings where all participants were fully aware what was going down (as it were).Knowledge does NOT cloud judgement. Especially if you ARE a pro!
And I repeat, professional coffee and tea cuppers also taste unblind.
One reaches a point where one is no longer swayed by labels. Perhaps that's a good working definition of "pro".
