Wine Bench Trials: Double Barrel Petite Pearl Edition

Live Like a Winemaker for the Night

Wine bench trials are back—and this year we’re diving into a brand new wine -Double Barrel Petite Pearl, a dry red wine.

This is your chance to become an official taste tester, helping guide real decisions as we fine-tune Double Barrel Petite Pearl, a brand-new vintage and style.
