TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Pokemon #199, Slowking is the evolved form of Slowpoke. Actually, Slowpoke has two separate evolved forms it can take: Slowbro, which is the standard, and Slowking. To make sure your Slowpoke becomes a Slowking, it needs to be traded while it’s holding a King’s Rock.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
N/A

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Slowbro tail.
