Join us for a Blind Wine Tasting Experience at the Take 3 Wine Bar & Café after the Film

Four wine stewards prepare to learn everything about wine as they ready for the master sommelier exam, one of the world’s most challenging tests, which is presided over by the notoriously secretive Court of Master Sommeliers.

The screening will be followed by a blind wine tasting experience in our Take 3 Wine Bar, which will be led by Marshall Tilden III, DWS, CSW, Chief Revenue & Education Officer at Wine Enthusiast. Marshall will guide you through the blind tasting process where you will learn how to detect specific aromas and flavors in 3 different wines and attempt to identify what the wines are, where they are from, and possibly even distinguish the vintage.

"We've seen these guys torture themselves so much, we inevitably get emotionally involved in the final verdict, and drinking to their success is what we'd all like to do."
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
