Weingut Sinss Spätburgunder Trocken 2016 (Vegas Golden Knights)
VS.
Philippe De Rothschild Pinot Noir Pays d’Oc (Florida Panthers)
Tale of the Tape:
Last year the Panthers were the President Trophy winners for being the best in the regular season, this year they just made it into the playoffs and have had a grueling first 3 rounds. The Golden Knights missed the playoffs last year, but have been making a push for the Cup since the team’s inaugural season

From the winery:
Welcome to the world of French Pinot Noir. This is a very accessible wine at a great price from a historically significant and well storied wine brand – Baron Philippe de Rothschild. The wine region Pays d’Oc is nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean in Southern France. The warmer climate will result in more prominent dark fruit flavours like plum and blueberry – also keep your taste buds aware of hints of chocolate. This is a warmer climate pinot noir for a warm climate hockey team and is best served at 55° F.
