...near our house that did monthly blind tastings for about 10 people. The wine buyer was very knowledgeable and would go outside his shop to get other highly rated wines for inclusion. At the end he would go from the lowest scoring wine to the highest, reading comments from the taster's notes.
Usually the scores were all over the board. Very fun and informative.
Not long after those stopped a friend began doing every other month tastings at his house for about 8 people using the same tasting/scoring sheets. Someone would always bring a "ringer" to include. A zin for the cab tastings, for example, or a $10 bottle with the $30 bottles. It's easy to be fooled.
More recently we have had tastings and so have a few other friends. It's always surprising because the highly rated wines and labels usually score a lot lower than you'd expect.
