Board Games for Winos

JD and I had a lovely evening last night with friends Lori and Genyk at their house in West Seattle. We were served an amazing Cauliflower Red Lentil Curry, with some sauteed spinach and garlic. WE brought the wine. Three bottles of Beaujolais, in fact. Three bottles of different Beaujolais from several vintners with the intention of playing our new favorite game: Winerd.

At last! Someone has finally gotten wise to the existing phenomenon of drinking while playing board games, and created a game where you drink wine BECAUSE the board game rules tell you to!

Of course, along the way you may have to answer trivia on how wine is made, what distinguishes varietals from each other, and when it is cool to drive drunk (an actual question.) I learned that blind taste testing is much harder than I thought, and that not spitting it out really does affect your ability to function the next day. Again.

I also came away with a much healthier appreciation for Beaujolais. I might need to have another go at French wines...
