Even with a few clever shortcuts lasagna is a labor of love – but so worth the effort. So, take your time, pour a glass of wine, and enjoy the process as you make this beloved dish to share with family and friends. Goes great with LE22 Aglianico Barbera.
The Wines By Design Wine Tasting event is making a comeback!
We had a great time at our (Fall) Wine Tasting event in September!
That said, we DID hear feedback that some people missed the event because it wasn’t in Spring as it traditionally has been. (Folks were busy, leaving town, etc.)
We heard you, we listened, and here we go!
You’ve worked hard perfecting your wines here at Wines By Design and once again, you have a chance to show it off. Enter your personally made (Wines By Design) wine.
Coming soon: (Saturday, April 15 from 12p – 4p to be exact)
The store will be closed for “normal” business, the day is devoted to 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 14 (contest closing time is 7p).
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.
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!)
Special bonus: All attendees will receive an Owners discount of 15% off all wine kits during the event. (Is limited to current stock on hand and excludes the “Red Dot” sale rack wine kits.)
A quick recap (TL;DR):
WBD will provide palate-cleansing crackers, appetizers, snacks, and more!
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.
Easy yet elegant, these savoury pastries are perfect for the fruity palate and balanced acidity of the LE22 Viognier Roussane Marsanne.
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.
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:
