If you're looking for a drink to pair with the House of the DragonSeason 1 finale,Horror look no further than House of the DragonWines from Seven Kingdoms Cellars, a division of Vintage Wine Estates.
There are three House of the Dragon Wines, all of them reds in a fitting tribute to the Targaryens' house words: "Fire and blood." You have your choice of a 2021 pinot noir from Oregon, a 2020 cabernet sauvignon from California, and a 2020 red wine blend from the Lodi appellation in California. Each 750 ml bottle costs $20 on the House of the Dragon Wines website; you can also the use the website's location checker to find where the wines are sold near you.
SEE ALSO: Everyone's thirsty for Emma D'Arcy's 'Negroni Sbagliato... with Prosecco in it'Seven Kingdoms Cellars sent me samples of the wines so I could try them for myself. I was a big fan of both the quality of the wines and the overall presentation.
The bottles alone are perfect collector's items for any House of the Dragon fan. Each label bears the sigil of House Targaryen — a three-headed dragon — as well as the title of the show. The foil wine capsule also sports a subtle dragon scale pattern, and if you look at the top of the bottle, you'll find another Targaryen sigil. Finally, the corks for each bottle are emblazoned either with a curling dragon tail, a dragon head, or a dragon egg, as well as the words "House of the Dragon." Just opening the bottle becomes a fan experience!
Now onto the wines themselves, all of which I enjoyed. The lightest of the three was the Pinot Noir, which had a silky, fruity flavor and a slight oaky finish. Next up was the Cabernet Sauvignon. I found this to be the sharpest and most acidic of the three, with a darkly sweet and full-bodied taste. Finally, the boldest of the wines, and my personal favorite, was the red blend. It was the richest of the three, and would pair well with a dessert — or with the end of a particularly stressful House of the Dragon episode.
So if you want to feel like Westeros's resident wine lover Cersei Lannister, or give a particularly dramatic toast in the vein of Aemond Targaryen, any of these wines would be a safe bet. And hey, they're a great way to continue the House of the Dragon festivities even after Season 1 has ended.
