Sherry-Master Jorge Henriquez - victor of the Lustau Blind Tasting Contest

While you might be impressed by this achievement (posted without permission, so hopefully he doesn’t ask me to remove it), what is TRULY amazing is that @Jorge_Henriquez was sick as a dog during this test, and for weeks prior and post the event. Everybody else all studying up, being all serious, Jorge walks up without the ability to taste or smell and gets the highest score.

Suck it, Sherry losers! Great job, Jorge!!

Congrats Jorge!!

Lol, because he’s the only person on the planet that actually likes Sherry!

Congratulations to Jorge!

Wow! Congrats Jorge!

Is there a wider audience than WB, center of the wine universe?

I would counter with “Tu madre!” but sadly you wouldn’t understand the insult.

the good news is that by praising Jorge and calling him out on his accomplishments he’s gracing us all with his presence, a very rare occurrence!

(no worries, he’ll be absent again soon, but he’ll get the ‘while you were gone’ emails)

Well done George!

Sadly, he’s addicted to random IG reels…

and Tweets!

great to read, congrats and well done, Jorge

@Jorge_Henriquez All joking aside it’s really a tremendous accomplishment. I respect and appreciate your courage, and the endurance required to plow through such an incredibly challenging tasting. I’d forgotten that you were ill during the tasting, and am at least relieved to consider that your sense of smell and taste were slightly diminished as you bravely slogged through sherry after sherry. A real sacrifice.
