For wine lovers, blind tastings are a fun way to gauge their knowledge. For wine poseurs, a blind tasting is a great way to take the wind out of their sails.

BIN 36 is taking a low-key approach to the blind tasting with tomorrow's installment of its monthly Wednesday Wine Around series. Wine Director Brian Duncan will conduct a blind tasting with the selections safely tucked into brown paper bags. So that you don't start feeling woozy, chef John Caputo will have some light bites available. The event runs from 6-8 p.m. and costs $25.
