what the heck are Mondo! Matchups?
Mondo! Matchups! are a little scheme we dreamed up to make it through the winter. Each week we pit wines against each other in an ALL OUT DEATH MATCH TO THE FINISH! Two wines enter, one will leave!
Each Matchup includes 2 half glass pours of your choice of our red or white selections of the week served on a fancy tasting mat. Try each wine in a blind tasting and choose your favorite. Turn the tasting mat over to find out what you preferred. Each week we tally the vote to declare a red and white champions. During March Madness we pit the champions against each other to find out what wine reigns supreme! Stop in every week to try the new contenders.
