It’s time for a wine quiz! My last quiz focused on food and wine pairings written about on Grape Experiences. But this is different. The simple multiple choice test of your knowledge focuses on winemakers, winery owners, and others profiled on the site in the last few months. Need help? The number before each question is linked to the full article where you can find the correct name and even more information about these interesting people. The answers are under the last picture. Good luck!
