It’s our second “Sign of the Times” entry! We’ll use this series to highlight some of our favorite wine graphics, posters and labels. We’ll share some popular ones that we’ve come across as well as some favorites that you share with us!

It’s official! The 2016 Wine Tasting Event (WBD version) is on!
Wine tasting
The store will be closed for “normal” business, the day is devoted to the event!
Special bonus: All attendees will receive an Owners discount of 15% off all wine kits during the event.
You are allowed to submit up to 3 bottles per person for the 3 entry categories: Red, White and Dessert/Fruit. Your wine will be moved into numbered bottles and you will be the judge in the blind tasting. The highest scored wines will be the winner in each category and the highest scoring of those will be named Best of Show. Best of Show wins a $100 gift certificate at WBD and the other two winners will each receive a $50 gift certificate to WBD.
To enter, turn in your bottles at the store before Friday, April 8 (contest closing time is 7p).
For the day of the event: there will be a $5 fee for those not contributing a bottle of their finest vino. (Contest entrants are free!)
Note: This is limited to wine made in the Wines By Design store (from our kits). This does not include wine made from fresh juice.
A quick recap:
An oldie, but a goodie! It’s still winter and still time to snuggle by a fire. Not everyone knows that we carry dessert wines and ports as well as our white, red and fruit wines. This month, a quick look at one of our best sellers!
Coffee Dessert Wine (another wine from RJ Spagnols)
The coffee dessert wine has been a big hit this winter season at WBD: Typical of medium roast coffee, aromas of toffee, burnt marshmallow, and chocolate will entice you and follow through to a palate which finishes with lingering notes of vanilla.
This kit is part of the Cru Specialty lineup from RJ Spagnols. One of several port and dessert wines we have available, coffee port is nice by a fire or just to curl up under a blanket with on a cold evening.
Like all of the ports and dessert wines, this is drinkable immediately!
