Wine Wars – The Game

Since I have been writing about wines these last couple of days, Make It A Wine Cocktail, Vegan Wines I thought it would be fun to end this little mini series with a wine game. Our friends Angie and Bryan gave us some more fun Christmas gifts, that of course we opened early. One was another delicious signed copy of a Mexican cookbook, called Elote Cafe Cookbook, by Jeff Smedstad. I can’t wait to try the recipes from this delicious book, but more on that at another time. They also gave us a new game called Wine Wars. Am I that predictable? Everyone who knows me knows how much I love to cook and how much I love my wines! 🙂 🙂 🙂

We played a round of Wine Wars the other day. It’s like trivia pursuit, only with wine questions.

We played with Mike and Lauren and teamed up, boys against the girls. At first Lauren and I had a commanding lead, then out of nowhere, the boys surged from behind and ended up kicking out butts and winning by a landslide.

First you roll the die to determine the color/category for questions. If you answer correctly, you get a wine bottle of that color to fill in the game board and you get to keep going. Whoever fills out the board first wins. It was a lot tougher than we thought. I might need to continue my wine learning education and journey. 🙂

As tough as it was, we all enjoyed the game very much though and are looking forward to the upcoming rematch in the very near future. We thought we knew a lot about wines, but we realized we still have so much more to learn.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Have fun no matter what you do. It’s not the “what” that matters, but the “who” that you do it with. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Stay safe and stay well, and drink responsibly. ‘Til next time.
