The Franzia Challenge ( cheap wines vs. good wines )

[KDawg]

I'd be more then game for this. Granted I live in chicago, so if any Chi Town 2p2ers want to bear witness to me doing this I'd be game. I would buy the wines themselves and we'd have to do it all in one varietal, of which the three easiest would be chardonnay, syrah/shiraz, and cab or cab based blends.

Now, I wouldn't go as far as to straight up identify each wine, but give a point score for each of them based on the tradition Robert Parker point scale.

I'd also choose which wines I drink since I'd be the one forking out the cash to do this. I'd also probably add in another bracket so that instead of a straight 20-50 bracket, it'd be more like 20-35 and 36-60(since I'd be paying, I'd want to run it up to 60 as I have a few in mind that are slightly over 50 for this) as there can be a massive difference between a $38 wine and a $21 wine

like I said, I'm down for this and would probably even pull a few from my own collection for this experiment. I'm also a person who has little preconcieved notions and would promise not to look at the Cellar Tracker scores before doing this
