Will Wine Tycoon be quaffable or transcendent?
Sometimes a feature list is far better than a game can ever hope to be. That's my guess as to what will happen with Wine Tycoon, the latest from the creators of Mall Tycoon, Shopping Center Tycoon, Eco Tycoon, and all four Prison Tycoons. Check this out:Create the vineyard of your dreams in 10 of the most important wine regions of France. Commanding operations from your very own French chateau, build your winery, plant and tend your vines through all four seasons of the year, and hire staff to harvest and process your grapes. Produce 50 French wines such as Bordeaux, Burgundy, Pinot Gris and Champagne from more than 40 different grape varietals, all in the ultimate goal of becoming a wealthy wine baron!
And this:As in reality, each wine region has its own unique style and flavor, not only in appearance, but also in the different traditional grape varieties grown and the wines made.
And this:[Pinot] is a hard grape to grow, as you know. It's thin-skinned, temperamental, ripens early. It's not a survivor like Cabernet, which can just grow anywhere and thrive even when it's neglected. Pinot needs constant care and attention. And in fact it can only grow in these really specific, little, tucked away corners of the world. And only the most patient and nurturing of growers can do it. Only somebody who really takes the time to understand Pinot's potential can then coax it into its fullest expression. Then its flavors, they're just the most haunting and brilliant and thrilling and subtle and ancient on the planet.
Oops, wait. That last one is a quote from Sideways.
