A Vertical Detroit Tasting

Vertical and horizontal are not only terms used to refer to the direction in which a picture is arranged, or the location of a point on the X or Y axis. You can also have horizontal and vertical wine tastings! Most of you probably already know this, but for those who do not; a horizontal wine tasting consists of tasting multiple wines of the same varietal and vintage from different wineries, and a vertical tasting is of multiple of the same wine type in different vintages. Both of these tastings can help you identify the small differences between the wines that are more evident when tasting them back-to-back. There is a relatively new establishment in Detroit called Vertical, where they specialize in (obviously) vertical wine tastings.
