[ the tastings ]

Once a month, a tasting team will be chosen to sip a selection of wines & share their thoughts online. A virtual tasting will be held, hosted by Allie Merrick (NW Wine Correspondent). Tune in as Allie will be joined by the winemaker or host & the chosen tasting team. A conversation with questions & comments will commence. And YOU are invited to join in. When the date & time arrives, get online & go here: live.nwwinestoyou.com/tastinggamesmay
You can join in & sip with us by purchasing the featured selections before the night of the tasting. Stay tuned for special deals on featured wines.

[ the tally ]

So, what makes these tasting into ‘games’?
Points, of course.

When a tasting team is selected to participate in a virtual tasting, they will gain points two ways:

1. For each question/comment posted by the team captain, 10 points will be awarded.
2. For each picture of the team tasting wine that night taken & sent to Northwest Wines To You, 20 points will be awarded.

Points & pictures will be posted on our online scoreboard the following day.
At the end of the year, the tasting team with the most points wins!
And what do they win? That’s a surprise.
However, you can be assured it’s wine related. ;)
