The Square Peggle

BARRELS:
18 months in French oak, 25% new.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Enjoy pachinko and maybe something like bagatelle? Perhaps you’ve heard of Peggle? If not, Peggle is a puzzle game where players send a limited number of balls through a series of colorful pegs, usually in some intricate design. Whenever a ball hits a peg, it disappears (or changes color) and gives you points. The objective is to clear out as many pegs as you can while also hitting a couple of specific ones before running out of balls. Sounds fun, but you can imagine it can also be addictive. Forbes and MSNBC have named it one of the most addictive computer games of all time, and a study at East Carolina University reported players experiencing a “45% decrease in depression.”

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
Grilled meats, seafood, roasted vegetables.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
A 45% decrease in depression.
