Wine Options: We need your help
Thursday 20 May
Somehow I have managed to get myself involved in a Wine Options tournament. For those of you not familiar with Wine Options, it involves tasting a wine blind and guessing what it is. Not too dissimilar to the MW tasting exam, I guess. Yet it still strikes the fear of God into me!
I’m part of a ladies-only team and theoretically we should do well with all our experience in the trade: members include a five-times National Wine Options champion and a Master of Wine. But I’m holding my breath.
I suggested we should aim for the fancy dress prize instead but no-one else seemed that keen. Can’t think why.
There’s also a prize for the best team name so I’m calling on you to help me out here. Thus far we’ve only come up with the Four Terriors and Sangio-ladies. Put your thinking caps on.
How about:
*Double Magnum Force
* The Jero…Beaux…Um
*Flavour Essence Doree
* 4 Ladies & a Pinot
* Les Gueules
*The Blind Society
*The Taste Buddies
*Four Headaches and a Few Neurals
* Gibbs Tooth Paste
* The Four Tops
*Ladies Who Lurch
*Grape Expectorations

Thanks Tim,
Definitely some contenders there. I like the Blind Society and Ladies who Lurch best!
