Wine Fans. Brace yourselves.
It's about time we rewarded you for your creativity. It's about time we gave you some free wine. It's about time we turned the mirror outwards and reflected your genius. It's about time we stopped with this melodramatic intro language.
Introducing the
Real Time Wine Noble Savage Wine Review Competition. Launching NOW and lasting for ONE WEEK... 2 Wine Fans will win a case each of 2009 Noble Savage Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot.
The competition will be judged by
Noble Savage's esteemed winemaker, Ronel Wiid. She's promised to take off the gloves, the frilly hat and leave her inner-circle at the door. She's going to live like a supermarket wine buyer for a week, not pour her evening tipple straight out the barrel if you know what we mean... Feel what it's like to drink from our glass. VIVA! We love her for it.
We're looking for:
* the most useful wine review (ANY WINE)
* the funniest, yet still useful wine review (ANY WINE)

PRIZES:
2 winners. 1 case each of 2009 Noble Savage Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot, delivered to your door.
Here are some examples of great reviews, both funny and useful (well, maybe the first one is just hilarious). There are plenty more to discover:
LePlonk: 2008 Mullineaux Shiraz. My guess is they made individual love to each berry before vinifying them, and preserving forever the joy of their union .
ComradeSipho: 2010 Zevenwacht Pinotage. Liquorice? Chocolate? Not really. More like: strawberry sherbet. SERIOUSLY sweet. Avoid, unless that's your sort of thing..
Mark Lagan: 2010 Beyerskloof Pinotage. When in doubt Beyerskloof Pinotage always safe. Great benchmark to check if wine list expensive or not.
Good luck Wine Fans! Bring it home!
