Five of the UK's most respected wine critics have unveiled a competition offering one lucky subscriber the chance to win an exclusive Rioja wine tasting holiday prize as their guest. The critics are: Olly Smith of BBC's Saturday Kitchen and Live Magazine; Tom Cannavan the creator of wine-pages.com; Anthony Rose of the Independent Newspaper; Tim Atkin MW of the Observer and Joanna Simon of Classic FM Magazine. Open to existing subscribers to the website, and to those who subscribe to www.thewinegang.com during August 2009, the competition includes flights, car hire and two nights in a four-star hotel in Rioja, on a half board basis. Ten new August 2009 subscribers, picked at random, will also be in line to receive a bottle of delicious Rioja Reserva, worth £12.99. Tom Cannavan said: "This is a fantastic prize and we are very grateful to Dinastía Vivanco for agreeing to host this special tasting. Just like the original intention of the Wine Gang, this prize will give one lucky subscriber a real opportunity to gain access to an unseen side of the wine world very few experience."
