Virtual Wine Tasting and Wine Trivia with Kris Round 2 (Copy)

Hey there! How’s quarantine treating your right now??

Wine Trivia Last week was a little extra special, we a had a special guest, Joe Exotic!!

In all seriousness, we had a blast, and had fun with my friend Chris Luecke serenading us with Joe Exotic hits. If you have a zoom call coming up, and want to add some fun to it, Chris does this for charity and will add a little comic releif during these times. You can read more about him here.

I just wanted to share some gratitude from the past couple weeks.

For the past two Friday nights I’ve had people show up to my virtual happy hour, Wine Tasting w/Kris, and it’s been such a great way to feel connected to others right now, especially since I live by myself (ok, ok, I have a pet rock).

In all seriousness, it’s been great to kick back on Friday night after a long week of online classes, see friends and new faces, and then get to share my passion for wine with others.

This week will be no different.

Friday night we’ll be pouring the @robertmondavips :

2018 Robert Mondavi Private Selection Monterey County Chardonnay Aged in Bourbon Barrels 🥂.

All the tropical notes hit your nose and palate with this aged chardonnay, with the bourbon barrels really bringing out the vanilla, toasted coconut and pineapple.

2018 Robert Mondavi Private Selection Monterey County Cabernet Sauvignon Aged in Bourbon Barrel as well.

Complex and well aged, this Cabernet gives you notes you’d expect from a Caramel latte and a slice of berry pie.

I chose both of these wines as they are not only fun because they are aged in bourbon barrels and full of complex flavors, they are also very well priced at well under $15 a bottle, and are available at most grocery and wine stores!.

I’ll be doing Wine Trivia with Kris Round 3 this Friday, May 1st at 5pm PST/8pm EST on Zoom 💻 🎉!

Put your wine knowledge to the test, and experience a new music vibe as we switch genres this week, to go with our bourbon barrel wine theme.

Hope to see you there! 🥂

Virtual Wine Tasting and Wine Trivia with Kris Round 2

Weekend Report #icymi :

First wine trivia night was a success!

We had a great time sharing our bottles, and just connecting with other humans.

While some of the wine questions may have been a little bit above the wine “novice” level, everyone enjoyed the 90s dance hits that were slinging from my spotify playlist.

Since everyone had a blast, I’ll be doing Wine Trivia with Kris Round two this Friday, April 24th at 5pm PST/8pm EST on zoom.

And now that we have some veterans from the first round, I invite everyone to come give a new set of questions a whirl!

(And while I don’t believe in giving out easy questions, the next round will have a different focus with some more “mainstream” questions #yallwin)

So pencil in Wine Trivia with Kris on your calendar for Friday night and make an appearance!

Here’s to hoping Wine Trivia with Kris makes the @zoom_Video_communications @sociallifemagazine which they haven’t made yet, but they’ll realize they should soon #paparazzi .

This week for Wine Trivia I wanted to take an opportunity to showcase two great wineries that are both family owned and started by the same family: @imagerywinery and @benzigerimagery.

For this week's virtual happy hour, we will be doing a quick tasting of two wines:

2017 Benziger Cabernet Sauvignon

2017 Imagery Sauvignon Blanc

Both of these wines are right at or under ~$15 at most grocery stores and wine stores like @traderjoes @totalwine and others!

Both of these wineries craft unique wines, and have their own unique characteristics which we will dig into on the zoom call.

So check these wines out, go pick them up before tomorrow and taste them together with me before jumping into trivia!

Can't wait to see you there tomorrow night at 5pm PST/8pm EST on Zoom.

You can find the link in my bio to signup for a reminder and to get the link.

P.S. Winning team/solo this week will get a FREE bottle of Imagery Pinot Noir!!

May the odds be ever in your favor!
