This past June, we brought 58 guests to Le Du Wines for the Women in Wine Festival — a fully blind tasting of 32 wines from 10 countries, every single one made, led, or owned by a woman. No labels. Just everyday consumers, real reactions, and a room full of women pouring what they built. This is what they thought.
No Wine Left Behind is a data-driven tasting platform — and a damn good time. We host blind tasting events built around storytelling, discovery, and genuine reaction, which means the consumer insights we deliver to the wine trade are the real deal: unfiltered opinions from real drinkers, captured in the moment through our digital blind-tasting game.
A wine people were proud to pour: 80% said they'd pour it for company, and most of those weren't just being polite — they said they'd do it happily.
We ask this because it's really a measure of trust — not just "did I like it," but "would I stand behind it." A dinner party usually means a mixed crowd, from newbies to wine nerds, so a strong score here means it's the kind of bottle that plays well with just about anyone. That versatility is exactly what makes it a great wine-list or by-the-glass pour.
Pink = aligns with the producer's tasting notes · Grey = perceived by players only
New World (USA + Chile): 70% · Old World (France + Italy): 30%
Uriah won guests over blind, then backed it up with an 80% dinner-party score — the number that actually matters on a wine list, since it measures whether someone will stand behind a bottle in front of company, not just whether they liked a sip alone. That's the same test a sommelier runs before adding a wine by the glass: can it hold its own across a mixed table of casual drinkers and wine nerds alike. Add in that nearly a third of guests read it as French or Italian, and you get a wine with Old World signaling from a region — Walla Walla — that most American drinkers still associate with newer, fruit-forward reds. That gap between perception and reality is exactly the opening a region needs to move from "up-and-coming" to "serious": guests aren't being told Walla Walla makes structured, age-worthy reds, they're tasting it blind and arriving there themselves.
Kate is a sixth-generation farmer — her family has worked this Walla Walla land for over 150 years, long before a single vine was planted. She grew up in Minnesota but spent every summer at Spring Valley, hoeing rows with her grandfather and racking wine with her uncle Devin. A week after graduating college, she made it permanent. Every Spring Valley wine is named for a real family member; Kate honors her great-great-grandmother, Katherine Corkrum, with a wine of her own.
No Wine Left Behind is a data-driven tasting platform — and a damn good time. We host blind tasting events built around storytelling, discovery, and genuine reaction, which means the consumer insights we deliver to the wine trade are the real deal: unfiltered opinions from real drinkers, captured in the moment through our digital blind-tasting game. Our events are rooted in one of the country's most influential wine markets, and the evidence-based narratives we produce support brand growth, trade pitches, and strategic marketing in ways that polished focus groups simply can't.
We give the industry what it's been missing — honest, human data on how modern drinkers actually perceive and choose wine. No jargon. No pressure. No wine left behind.
