Jelly Bellys as Wine Tasting Tool?
29-Jul-2005
Okay, now here is a really interesting idea brought to you by De Loach Vineyards and (drum roll, please…) Jelly Belly! Here’s the basic idea – you purchase a "kit" of Jelly Bellys with several varieties representing each of the different flavors associated with a specific varietal of wine. You first eat each one separately so that you can identify the specific flavors. Then you eat them all together for, what should be, a representation of the wine itself!
Seems like too much sugar to me, but then it would probably be fun to try it out. And think of all the twists – you could have a wine "tasting" party where people had to eat a bunch of Jelly Bellys and then guess what wine they represented or you could try doing a "horizontal tasting" (they have a couple available) to see what region’s Zinfandels you are most partial, too. It could be kind of fun!
The kits are hosted by Wine X Magazine and you can find the entire set of them here.
