Description

WINE WARS is a competitive wine tasting event where even the loser gets to take something home. Join us for a competition like no other. It all takes place at an outdoor courtyard, where you'll groove to the sounds played by the DJ, all while having fun, tasting wine benefiting a local charity. HOW-IT-WORKSSTEP 1: FORM A TEAMYour team may be 1, 2, or 3 persons (but never more than 3!) Each member of your team must be at least 21 years of age on the day of the event. All teams must bring 3 bottles no matter how many people are on your team STEP 2: REGISTER YOUR TEAM FOR THE EVENTRegister your team on EventBrite. If you do not have an EventBrite account, then you will be prompted to sign up. It's quick and easy.  If you are forming a team, create a team through Eventbrite and invite your friends to join. Come up with a creative team name. For example: Victorious Vino, Sip Happens, Wine Warriors, etc. The more creative, the better!  If you are joining an existing team, search for your team name and join it. STEP 3: BUY 3 BOTTLES OF WINE AND BRING THEM TO THE EVENTThe wine for the evening is: PINOT NOIR EACH TEAM MUST BRING 3 BOTTLES OF THE SAME WINE NO MATTER IF YOUR TEAM IS 1, 2, OR 3 PEOPLE! When we say BOTTLE, we mean BOTTLE! No boxes, cans, wineskins, etc.! Your bottles of wine should NOT be odd in shape or size. This will preserve the anonymity of the bottles during the tasting. We retain the right to disallow an entry if it is too easy to identify based on its shape/size. STEP 4: DROP YOUR WINE BOTTLES OFF AT THE REGISTRATION DESKAt the registration desk you will check in your team and turn in your bottles of wine. At that time you will be given a voting sheet and wine glasses for your team. See Step 6 on how to cast your vote. As the event gets started, we will place wrapped bottles out in the main area for tasting. STEP 5: LET THE PARTY BEGIN!We begin the event with a few words from our sponsors, and from our hostess with the mostess, who is in charge of organizing the event. Then it’s ‘Game On’ and you are free to move about the room and taste wines, enjoy the hors d’oeuvres, network, meet and greet. STEP 6: CAST YOUR VOTES FOR FAVORITE WINE & LEAST FAVORITE WINETowards the end of the night, we call for votes. Each person is allowed to vote once for their Favorite Wine and Least Favorite Wine. Each person will cast their votes on the sheet given to your team at the time of check in. You will write the number of the bottle of wine that you liked the MOST and the number of the bottle of wine you liked the LEAST. If 2 or more teams bring the same wine, votes can still differ depending upon the temperature of the wine, how long it has been open, etc. STEP 7: AND THE WINNER IS...Once the votes are cast and counted, we will award all of the third unopened bottles of wine to the top team, except for one bottle. The team that brought the Least Favorite wine of the evening gets the privilege of taking their bottle back home.  This event will be limited to 100 teams. This means that your team has the chance to win and take home up to 100 bottles of wine! WINNING!!! Benefiting Charity: Orlando Dream Center https://www.orlandodreamcenter.com
