Khal Drogo Says: Keep Calm And Drink Mourvèdre


It’s nice having Khal Drogo on #TeamMourvedre!

This wonderful image comes from the people behind Game of Rhones (why didn’t I think of that name!), a Rhone-focused wine event in Melbourne, Australia. Check out the website; they’re really all-in with the Game of Thrones theme. Oh, and the wine sounds awesome, too. I only wish I wasn’t on the other side of the world.

Hidden message?  If you look closely, you can see the word “Hodor” just to the right of Drogo’s face. We’ll take Hodor on #TeamMourvedre, too.

 

Girls Paper Dolls Drink Wine

This post is only barely wine-related. It’s mostly an excuse to post these cool paper dolls of the characters from HBO’s Girls, by Kyle Hilton for Vulture. It looks like that’s a bottle of Line 39 wine Jessa’s got. Anybody know if that specific bottle make an appearance in the show?

He’s got a bunch more for other TV show characters on his blog, including two of my favorites Charlie from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Ron Swanson from Parks & Recreation.

Doll #23Charlie Kelly, Bonus Edition, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia As promised, the Green Man suit edition, as well as some other goodies.  In related news, I’m offering custom paper dolls of you or a loved one for sale (possible Christmas presents… *hint hint*).  I’ve gotten a few orders already, so if you’d like to be next, here’s all the info on how to get yours! 

Doll #18Ron Swanson, Parks and Recreation As promised, a brand new Parks and Rec doll.  There were just too many great things to include, I had to leave a few for another time.  

Keep your fingers crossed for a Game of Thrones set.
