On Saturday the 28th of May I had the opportunity
to attend the TOPS at SPAR Wine Show, at Monte Casino. It was a wine filled
WINEderland. The theme was a carnival wonderland, with a play on the use of the
word. From start to finish the wine show was exquisitely put together, classy,
fun and the variety was exceptional.
THE BEGINNING.
The show started off with registration where each person received a TOPS
branded wine glass and a SPAR shopping bag (the material kind). This was very
exciting because I am definitely the type of person who loves to have mementos
and souvenirs from events, so that was a major plus for me. Then you walk into
an enclosed area filled with stalls of all the different wine connoisseurs,
people doing carnival tricks and a bunch of excited wine drinkers. Then you
walk outside and there are more wine stalls, some delicious food stands and a fantastic
vibe that filled the air. Back to the glasses, you could take you awesome
glasses, go to each stall and taste all the wines that were available. This could
have been a dangerous activity if I decided to try more than I had, everything
was so good, but then the next thing you know I could have plopsed over. HEHE…
Just kidding.
THE MIDDLE
I had a lot of fun going around to all the different stalls
learning more about the different kinds of wine that are out there that I admittedly
didn’t know. So not only was it a great tasting experience but it was great
learning experience as well. One of my favourite stall was the wine and Lindt
pairing. I LOVE LOVE LOVE chocolate so that was a plus, but surprisingly the
pairing worked well together and I really enjoyed it. Another of my favourites
was the “scientific” stall with the wine infused drinks that tasted like coldrink
we absolutely devine!!!
THE END
We ended up at the tasting theatre which was very informative.
Overall we had an amazing time and I thought the event was amazingly put together.
I would 100%promote and attend this event again. The theatrics, the variety and
the people were amazing. There is very little actually almost nothing I could critique
or have a negative comment about.
