BluBird Entertainment : The Cellar Rats Winter Wine Festival at Emperors Palace. (Review)

The event hosted in the Red Roman Shed, the wine festival saw different wine connoisseurs coming together with wine lovers and those who know very little about wine but still enjoy the different tastes and a day out. When the guests arrived they were given a tasting glass branded with “The cellar Rats” and 98.0 Mix FM logos engraved on it. As well as a competition entry form that you could win 3 bottles of wine.

Walking into the venue, there was this buzzing atmosphere with people from all walks of life, trying out new and exciting products as well as the good old classics. My favourite ‘new’ product (well at least new to me) was the blue wine. No you didn’t read incorrectly. It tastes like wine but it didn’t look like wine. It was a lovely light blue wine that looked like it should be a part of a good blue cocktail. There were also liqueurs that were lovely and smooth that tasted like chocolate. One was a milk chocolate and the other a white chocolate, served in a wafer cup. It was glorious!

What I liked about this festival was that there was not only wine, even though it was a wine festival, they showcased craft Beers, Gins, Whiskey and some chilly sauces for those who love some tang in their food. It was nice to see that they were catering for a couple type atmosphere so if then men (or women) weren’t particularly taken by wine there were many other options for them so that everybody could enjoy themselves.

The only small criticism that I have is that it would have been great to have a band or live music there, I know that Mix Fm were broadcasting live form the venue, it should would have added that little bit extra fun. But I still enjoyed the Djs, and their music.

I really enjoyed this event and the organisation behind it was really well thought out and put together. I wold 100% recommend this event, so look out for more like it. Emperors Palace have done it again and hosted a wonderful, fun filled event that’s not to be missed.
