We all love a little friendly competition especially when wine is involved. The inspiration for tonight’s theme has come from the popular HBO hockey show of the same name, so for those who are familiar (#iykyk), the theme will be four Eastern European wines put up against four North American wines in a blind tasting showdown where you play judge, jury, and referee. Your mission is to decide where each wine calls home while enjoying the process of sipping on some very cool bottles from around the world.

No hockey will be played on-site, and you’ll have to BYO wine home to watch the show, but the spirit is the same: a bit of viticultural rivalry with good sportsmanship, and the undeniable thrill of getting the wine right!

May the best team win.
