Win 10 Free Tickets to This Amazing Wine Festival in NYC This Month?! Yes Please and Thank You!

Can we all agree it's not that easy getting into wine?

It's really easy to like wine because, well DUH, but chances are, you can't pick out Tempranillo from a line of Riojas. (Did we just make up those words? Who knows...) 

It'd be cool if there were places we could go to, to like try different wines and learn about them– oh wait, there are. But anyone who's been to a wine tasting knows that-- we're just gonna say it-- the culture around wine can get kind of... intense.

You might not have realized it yet, but you've been waiting for Wine Riot, the antidote to stuffy wine tastings at snobby vineyards, your entire life.

Wine Riot NYC 2016 is gonna be hosted at the 69th Regiment Armory. You'll have the option to attend Opening Night, on September 23rd from 7-11 p.m., or September 24th from 1-5 p.m. and 7-11 p.m. 

This Boston-based wine festival you simply can't miss was founded in 2008 by Morgan and Tyler, who at that time had recently attended a large traditional wine tasting and were left unimpressed. 

They had basically paid $80 for a completely unapproachable experience, without any direction, and were surrounded by a wave of suits with a small group of young people huddled in a corner, afraid to get involved.

You might not have realized it yet, but you've been waiting for Wine Riot, the antidote to stuffy wine tastings at snobby vineyards, your entire life.

At Wine Riot, you'll still be tasting wine-- choose from 250 worldwide, to be exact-- but there is absolutely no pretension allowed.

Don't you want to have the ability to like actually walk into the liquor store and pick out a bottle, not at random, not because there's a SALE sign over it, but because you know you'll actually appreciate the taste, and won't be embarrassed to bring it to a party? 

By the time you leave Wine Riot, that'll definitely be your reality.

We know you're definitely ready to throw your money at this festival, but we're giving you and your squad, a chance to win up to ten (that's T-E-N) tickets to this amazing wine festival. Yup, that's right, ten. Interested? You can enter this sweepstakes right here. It's seriously that simple.

For the rest of you, tickets for this four-hour, all-access pass to are $65 and you can grab them here.

You'll arm yourself with a glass and their free phone app, available for you to track, rate, and learn about the wines you like, and explore their selection by theme (like Chardonnay) or region (like Germany). Literally, there are no wrong paths.

We know you're definitely ready to throw your money at this festival, but we're giving you and your squad, a chance to win up to ten (that's T-E-N) tickets to this amazing wine festival. Yup, that's right, ten.

They've also rallied a bunch of bonafide wine pros that are actually willing to answer your questions and definitely won't tsk at you when you swish a sip of Cab around in your mouth like a douche.

But, if you do want to brush up on your wine basics, don't miss Wine 101, where you'll learn the difference between dry and sweet, oak and not, young and mature, old world and new world– all by tasting them, of course.

And if you just want to dive right in, they host twenty-minute crash courses throughout every Wine Riot. In case you haven't gotten with the program yet, yeah, wine is served at these courses.

You know where you could probably find us though? The Bubbly Bar, where six sparkling wines in every style, from all over the world are available to taste.

The most important thing about Wine Riot is that wine can totally be fun and if you're not ready to party, you will be-- because there's gonna be a DJ spinning tunes, as well as wine-themed temporary tattoos and a photo booth.

Since it's actually mathematically impossible to not go bananas over a photo booth while one's buzzed, get ready for that. 

And are you really gonna pass up slapping on a neck tattoo that you can scrape off before work on Monday?

You really don't want to miss out on this chance to not only get twisted with yo' squad, but also learn about the vast world of wine.

Put your best fruit forward (GET IT?!) and enter here to win tickets to the most amazing wine festival going down in NYC this month.
