The Yoknapatawpha Arts Council is bringing back one of its most popular events with a new twist.

The Red Wine Edition of Three Blind Wines event will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 1 at The Powerhouse.

This unique wine-tasting experience promises an evening of fun, competition and community.

Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or simply enjoy a glass with friends, “Three Blind Wines” offers something for everyone.

How It Works:

• Find Your Team: Whether it’s your spouse, best friend, or a newfound companion, teams of two are all you need to join the fun. One ticket covers both participants.
• Select Your Wines: Teams bring three bottles of the same red wine, sourced from one of the local participating liquor stores – High Cotton Warehouse, Campus Wine & Spirits, Vine Bottle Shop at Chicory Market, Social Wine & Whiskey House and Magnolia Wine & Spirits.

Two bottles will be used in the blind tasting, while the third is reserved for the grand prize. Not sure which wine to pick? Choose the Sommelier Ticket option, and a professional sommelier will select and deliver your wine, so you can just show up and enjoy.

Taste all the wines, vote for your favorite, and see if your selection comes out on top. The winning team walks away with an impressive prize—a collection of the third bottles to stock their wine cellars.

Ticket sales end at noon on Sept. 29. There are two ticket options.

Team Tickets are $45 for non-YAC members or $40 for members. This option covers a team of two, includes three bottles of wine and ensures wine delivery from the store to the event.

The Sommelier ticket is $110 for non-members or $100 for members. Let the experts handle your wine selection and delivery. All you need to do is arrive at the event ready to taste and vote.
