Ok not exactly, but for all of you Game of Thrones fans here is some wine you have to have. I normally wouldn't jump on a bandwagon like this but with Bob Cabral's experience making some good wine you are getting some quality stuff with a fun collectors side for fans of the show. I'd happily drink this wine and I wouldn't say that for just any show or movie that had a themed wine. Check out the LCBO soon before they are gone!
Try this Game of Thrones Chardonnay at $29.95 from Central Coast California. It's actually 90% Chardonnay and 10% Riesling. Think stone fruit and floral notes which leads into a rich creamy fruit texture IE this wine has had some time in oak.
"Winter looms, but fair weather and a long summer have yielded a fine and elegant Chardonnay. Aromas of tree fruit and fragrant blossom lead to a rich palate, with notes of lemon and honey and racy acidity that would complement the finest cuisine of the realm. Brilliant with poultry, chestnut soup or almond-crusted trout."
Looking for something to pair better with roast beast or mutton? Check out this Game of Thrones Red Blend $29.95 from Paso Robles California. It has 8 red varietals, predominately Syrah, Tempranillo and Petit Syrah. Think dark black cherry, blackberry, vanilla and cocoa.
"Sure to be enjoyed in all of the Seven Kingdoms, this carefully-crafted blend is brimming with black fruit aromas and flavours. The wine is robust, with a lush texture - complex notes of leather and spice are woven on a warm and spicy finish. Pour with hearty, filling dishes such as herbed rack of lamb or savoury sausage."
Ok, so maybe you are King Joffrey and only the best will do. This wine is truly fit for a king or an aspiring high court schmooze. This Game of Thrones Napa Cabernet Sauvignon at $74.95 will have you feeling like you are sitting on the Iron Throne yourself and will certainly make it through a long, long winter. Think blackcurrant, vanilla and cocoa balanced nicely into a smooth long finish. Is it worth $74.95?...that's for you to decide. You will notice a presumable refinement in this wine that quite frankly you won't find in a bottle half its price.
"From the finest vineyards in the Kingdom, a rich, complex cab that is fine-textured and luxurious. Patiently aged, and selected barrel-by-barrel, it is replete with flavours of blackcurrant, spice and hints of dusk rose, and would be superb with meat pies or venison. This wine will age successfully for several more seasons!"
"When you play a game of thrones, you win or you die."
Happy Sipping,
Ryan
