BLD in Chandler to host blind tasting of American vodkas on Saturday

How well do you know your American vodkas? Find out Saturday when BLD in Chandler hosts a blind tasting in its new private dining room a 5 p.m. The event will last about an hour.

For $30*, you’ll receive samples of five different brands of American vodkas, plus a plate of four or five traditional vodka noshes like oysters, smoked salmon, and roe.

Participants will rank the vodkas in order of preference before learning the identity and information about each from BLD general manager Brent Shinyeda.

“I think people are going to be very surprised,” Shinyeda says. “They’re going to discover they get a bottle of really good vodka for $10 less than Ketel or (Grey) Goose.”

Reserve your seat by calling 480-779-8646.

(*BLD was running a special this morning with a limited number of tasting seats available for just $20. As of 10 a.m., a few of those seats still were available.)
