Wine as Entertainment

Do you view wine only as a drink ?  Or do you view it as possibly something larger.  Let me explain.  As part of our Mission statement states:  “We believe that wine is more than a drink, we believe that it is a lifestyle and culture to be enjoyed.”  One of the ways we believe this to be true is by viewing wine as entertainment (and no I don’t mean drinking to much of it and doing something ridiculous).  What I mean is that wine can be a good source of creating entertainment. Examples include movies, TV shows, music, and board games.  Since wine is such a broad topic it can lead to many fun and interesting ways to entertain ourselves.  Below is a list of some wine entertainment you should check out.  Remember wine is more than a drink.

1.  Movies: Bottle Shock, Blood into Wine, Somm

2.  Books:  The House of Mondavi, Napa: The Story Of A American Eden, The Billionaire’s Vinegar

3.  Games:  Wine Wars:  A Trivia Game For Wine Geeks and Wannabes, Wine Smarts Game 2.0, Wine Party Game

Not only do I enjoy drinking wine but I also enjoy reading about wine and its storied past and bright future.  I believe wine related literuature can give us insight into wine and the culture and lifestyles it can create and influence.  Once you learn more about what you are drinking you will have a better appreciation for what’s in your glass.  So pick up one of the below books today for your summer reading you never know what you will learn.

The Billionaire’s Vinegar  (by Benjamin Wallace)

A interesting look at one of the great american wine conissuers Thomas Jefferson and the bottle of wine that made history and head lines.

The House of Mondavi  (by Julia Flynn Siler)

A facinating look at americas first family of wine.  Anything is possible when wine is involved !

Napa: The Story of an American Eden (by James Conaway)

Learn how a little part of California could transform the meaning of wine to a nation.
