A few weeks ago, I did a post on the Kung Fu Girl Riesling from Charles Smith and it reminded me of the old-school arcade game Kung Fu Master, which I used to play at the arcade in my local bowling alley back in middle school. This got me thinking what other classic arcade and video games have a wine-world equivalent? Here’s a starter list. If you can think of others, leave a comment.
Kung Fu Master = Kung Fu Girl

Duck Hunt = Duckhorn

Frogger = Frog’s Leap

Punch Out = Mollydooker ‘The Boxer’
Pong = Two Buck Chuck
Have you seen 8 Bit Vintners? Their initial release is called Player 1.
You can scroll down this article for a clear shot of what is possibly the most awesome wine label ever.
Tim – I was going for more pseudo-homonyms, but I like where you’re taking it!
Ben – I have seen (and follow) 8Bit Vintners on Twitter. Very cool label. May he’ll chime in…
