Saturday March 26th
ALL DAY LONG
In the spirit of "March Madness", we are going to have a sweet sixteen tournament tasting this weekend! Four different countries will each get four entry wines into the tournament. We will have brackets filled out representing all of the match ups. Your job is to taste through the wines and pick your favorites in each round. Each "pick" for a wine to go to the next round is the same as a vote for that wine - the wine with the most votes will advance. Once we tally the votes over the weekend, we will announce the "Final Four" and we will taste those wines for FREE next Thursday. Here is the kicker, the bracket from this Saturday (at each store) with the most correct choices will be deemed the winner. The grand prize? The winner will be able to choose six bottles from any round of the tasting and take them home absolutely FREE.
It's really not as complicated as it sounds - and it should be a ton of fun. If you are at all confused just plan on coming in this Saturday in between your favorite teams playing, taste some great wine with friends, and have a great time.
