So in case anyone was wondering Paul Giamatti’s character ended up drinking a bottle of 1961 Cheval Blanc out of a paper cup. That makes us sad. We know we should have given out the answer on Friday. We hope noone was holding their breath. That would be a bad thing.

We’ll be back later today with trivia question number three. Cheers!

We kicked things off last Monday with a fairly difficult trivia question. This one might be slightly easier: What is the name of the bottle of wine that Paul Giamatti treasures above all others? In other words, the one he ends up drinking in a styrofoam cup at a fast food joint towards the climax of the film?

Remember: all answers should be submitted by 5 p.m. on Thursday 3/1. We’ll print the answer the next morning. Drop us a line at either food@slyoyster.com or thewineguy@slyoyster.com

Hey ya’ll! I know I’m infilitrating the terrain of The Wine Guy, but it was a crazy weekend, so I’m just getting to what I should have gotten to on Monday morning. Hopefully this won’t be a common occurrence. So without further ado Jacob and I present the first question, in what will be a weekly series…

It’s going to last for three months, the person with the highest score (the most right) at the end will win a wine board created from the The Wine Guy himself. It’s a very cool prize and we’ll get a picture of it up ASAP. Send your trivia answers to food@slyoyster.com with “Wine Trivia” in the subject by Thursday at 5 p.m. We’ll post the winning answer Friday morning. If you don’t get it right, just remember that this is more of a marathon than a sprint!

Q: Name the two wines that share the same name as their appellation or DOC. Technically speaking, all the premier crus & grand crus of Burgundy qualify for this answer, but I’m not referring to those. Hint: They are both from really small regions, one in Italy & one in France, and the wines I’m speaking of are the only wines produced in their respective regions.

We’re going to start something in the next coming weeks in order to get people interested in not only the site, but also the wonderful weekly column by Jacob, AKA The Wine Guy. Each week he’ll propose a not all too difficult trivia question having something to do with wine. The first person to respond with the correct answer will get showered with affection and love from The Oysterites. Actually, Jacob and I will discuss what we can give away, if anything. If there are any wine related companies wanting to donate some wine related gifts for us to give away as schwag we’d be greatly appreciative! We scratch your back, you scratch ours?

We’ll have the first question this Monday morning. Hope you like wine trivia! Send your responses to food@slyoyster.com with “Wine trivia” in the subject line. We’ll even print some of the answer, intelligent or not!
