For those who didn't believe wine drinking was a competitive sport.....
Here at Mudbrick we take our wine drinking seriously! First Glass Wine Options is an annual competition that Mudbrick takes part in along with an average of 40 - 50 other teams from around the country. Teams consist of four members who have to accurately determine the country of origin, variety, age and label of the "blind" wine poured in front of them. The teams get four white wines and four red wines that they answer as a team, plus four bonus wines that have to be answered by only one member of the team... not an easy task!
Serious deliberation during the sudden death taste off for 1st place....
Mudbrick team two consisted of Restaurant Manager - Karen Armstrong, Marketing Manager - Brooke Robinson, Vineyard Manager - Ryan Gourdin and Floor Manager - Jason Collins who picked up second place in the trade section and third overall. All those hours of rigorous "training" sessions paid off!

If you want to test your skills or are looking for a fun pre lunch/dinner activity, Mudbrick can organise your own mini Wine Options Challange for groups of 12 or more. Ask our Functions Manager for more information.
