01
Blind, always
Wines are wrapped and identities remain hidden until the tasting and discussion are complete.
Tradition · Recognition · Good humor
Golden Cork
A lighthearted record of the bottles that fooled us, taught us, and stayed with us.
Recognition without
taking ourselves too seriously.
The Golden Cork celebrates strong blind-tasting performances while keeping the Society’s real purpose in view: better questions, deeper understanding, and a table where everyone learns.
02
No vote for your own
Participants do not vote for their own bottle. Ties are settled with the Society’s traditional coin toss.
03
Learning comes first
The leaderboard is fun. Insight, generosity, and a sharper understanding of wine are the real prizes.
Current standings
The current Golden Cork leaderboard and complete tasting records are maintained for members inside The Cellar.
