Welcome to the new game show everyone’s talking about: Barrel Select! And now your host, John Johnson!

Thank you, thank you! We’ve got a great show ahead of us, so let’s just dive right in. Introducing today’s contestant, hailing from Pensacola Florida, Amelia Grayly! Amelia, tell us a little bit about yourself.

Amelia will be taking home a Vin du Lac Barrel Select Sampler. That’s one bottle of earthy 2007 Cab Sav, one bottle of the gorgeous 2007 Merlot, and one bottle of the elegant 2008 Cabernet Franc!
