As
a fun and timely expression of the Olympic fever that's gripping the nation,
Sharon Sevrens and the team at Amanti Vino have put together a lighthearted way
for customers to show their competitive spirit ... via their
favorite wines and beers!
"In honor of Winter Olympics in Sochi, we thought
it would be a kick to create a 'tournament' complete with brackets that pit
wines and beers from 16 countries against each other," enthuses
Sharon, sommelier & proprietor of the Church Street boutique wine, craft
beer and spirits shop. "At the end, we'll have a crowd-chosen
champion!"
The
most-purchased wine or beer for each pairing is the winner and will move into
the next round. For each bottle a customer buys, their name will be entered
into a drawing for a prize. One name will be drawn for
each match-up (16 winners in total over 4 rounds). Prizes up
for grabs? Bottle-reusable tote bags, corkscrews, and a free seat in an
upcoming class!

preferences by country; all picks are top sellers from each country.

"competition" starts February 8th and runs through February
