Game of Rhones

Game of Rhones is a fantastic idea and hopefully continues for years to come. The format is proven with similar events such as Pinotpalooza, but it is enhanced with a funky theme being embraced by the producers. Medieval dress up party meets wine, what’s not to like?
There were about 175 wines on offer, which I made a valiant effort to sample the bulk of. To be honest, the only flaw with this format is that after about two hours, you have done a decent number on your palate, rendering most things to taste largely like each other.
The app was a little clunky, but the direct ordering function was ingenious. Due to being financially challenged at the time, I could not take advantage of this wonderful feature.
My one suggestion would be that a wider selection of food could have been good, especially if it were Game of Thrones inspired. Bowl of brown, anyone?
Next time, I’m going to go in costume. In fact, I think it should be compulsory. I will also award a prize (may or may not consist of a handshake) to any winemaker who makes a Game of Thrones inspired label/​branding.

I like drinking wine. So much so that I will vow never to miss one of these events from Dan and the crew at bottle shop concepts again.
While I’m not a massive GoT fan i do appreciate a good dress up party and this did not disappoint, there were dragons and scantily clad queens and kings.
For me though the 175 wines from the Rhone Valley stole the show. I think I may have tasted about 30% of what was on offer and ended up putting about $ 300 worth in my shopping cart that can be delivered to your door by the the lovely team at Prince Wine Stores.
This in itself is what all other wine shows should be benchmarked on. Well done to everyone involved!
