Recipe: Gourmet Blue Burger
A beefy, garlicky burger accented with rosemary and a tangy yet creamy blue cheese sauce; this is a match made in backyard barbecue heaven. Goes great with LE22 Malbec Bonarda Syrah.
Recipe: Smoked Salmon Pinwheels
Easy yet elegant, these savoury pastries are perfect for the fruity palate and balanced acidity of the LE22 Viognier Roussane Marsanne.
Recipe: Pecan & Parmesan Stuffed Mushrooms
Mushrooms are trending as one of the most sustainable, plant-based protein sources available and are wonderfully satisfying in this vegetarian appetizer. The earthy, meaty flavours can be enjoyed even more with our silky LE22 Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot blend.
2022 Wine Tasting Competition Results
And it’s a wrap!
The WBD Wine Tasting Competition is complete!
The Wines By Design Wine Tasting event was a hoot! (If we DO say so ourselves…)
We would like to start off by thanking everyone who contributed their wines to this year’s wine tasting event. There were some delectable wines this year! (Which made the judging all the harder…)
Lucky for us, judging was not OUR job! Thanks to all of you who attended, it was YOUR job to judge!
We had three categories this year: Red, White, and Dessert/Fruit. As a quick reminder, each category wins a $50 gift certificate to WBD, with the winner with the highest number of votes receiving an additional $50 gift certificate.
OK… we know why you’re REALLY here… you want to know the winners. So, without further ado:
2022 WBD Wine Tasting winners ($50 gift certificates)
- Red: Deb & Jeff Benedict – En Primeur Grenache Syrah
- White: Sandy & Kayle – Cru Select Gewürztraminer
- Fruit/Sweet: Fran & Patty Smith – Toasted Caramel
2022 WBD Wine Tasting overall winner ($50 gift certificate)
- Overall: Sandy & Kayle – Cru Select Gewürztraminer
Congratulations to all!
