"Blind tastings are a way to try wines without biases, test your knowledge, and become the center of attention at dinner parties. But unless you have friends with lots of money and patience, they’re hard to set up on your own. So go to Black Mountain Wine House, a cabin-like spot in Gowanus that offers three-wine blind tastings for $10 until 6pm on weekdays. Even if you don’t make it for Happy Hour, you can try a bunch of small-production wines from around the world by the glass and half-bottle, and some very good small plates as well." - matt tervooren
