Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'Vintners from across the land have sent in shipments of wine to Meldis for the feasts I'm planning. We cannot serve anything less than the finest, and each event has their own preferences, based on the menu. 'Meldis's inn, The Wheel and Cask, was destroyed in the war, but she's moved up to the Splintered Shield. It's a much rougher place than her last establishment, but you look like you can handle yourself. 'Meldis has the various casks of wine stored in her kitchen. Go sample each vintage until you find the one I require, then bring a barrel of it back here.' Background The wedding-planner in Minas Tirith requests aid in picking the perfect vintage. NOTE: This quest will be removed from your quest log when the current festival ends. Objective 1 Find the correct wine for the wedding planner The Splintered Shield is located on the Second Tier of Minas Tirith. You should go to The Splintered Shield in Minas Tirith and sample wines. A fizzling effervescence on your tongue. This wine is not supposed to have bubbles.... It's probably not possible to add more water to this 'wine' This wine has sapped all joy from your life This wine tastes like your great-aunt's mouldy basement So tart it makes your lips pucker and your eyes water A wine so sweet as to almost be syrupy. Good for dessert? This is probably just vinegar A robust, heady taste... of wet dog This light-bodied, tart red tastes of strawberries, violets, and black pepper This dark red tastes of black current, leather, and anise This dry white has a crisp taste with a hint of flint This sweet white tastes of smoke and apricot You have found the wine the wedding planner requested. You should pick up the wine cask and bring it to the wedding planner in Minas Tirith. Objective 2 Pick up the barrel of wine  Glass of Wine Picked up the proper wine cask Objective 3 Deliver the cask to Merilien  Barrel of Wine  Glass of Wine The wedding planner Merilien is on the Seventh Circle of Minas Tirith.
