Adventurous Kate (not to be confused with Second Glass's very own, and very adventurous Kate!) gives a detailed account of this year's Riot, complete with photos of the action.
Kate writes: "I can’t wait for the next Wine Riot! It was a really fun event, and a great way to find some new wines that I love. I’ve got half a dozen new spicy reds that I’ll be adding to my repertoire soon!"
