It’s Christmas in July
(We know… we’ve just hit summer)
BUT: If you want to be able to give wine for the holidays this year AND you want your recipient’s to be able to drink your wine right away, NOW’s the time to put up a kit!
To help, we’ve got a couple of things to share:
1) We’re ready!
We have recently received two large orders from both Winexpert and Cellar Craft and we’ve got something for everyone. Just some of what’s come in:
| Reds |
Whites |
Fruits |
| Nebbiolo (Barolo) |
Riesling |
Green Apple Riesling |
| Amarone |
Pinot Grigio |
Pomegranate Zinfandel |
| Château Du Pays |
Chardonnay |
Cranberry Malbec |
| Rosso Fortissimo |
Piesporter |
Black Cherry Pinot Noir |
2) We’ll help!
During the month of July, if you put up two kits, we’ll take 5% off the price of your two kits. A third kit will give you 10% off of your kits (or any additional kits).
3) We’ve got something new!
We’ve got three new wines for you:
- World Vineyard – Pink Moscato
- Light and refreshing on the palate with flavors of fresh strawberry, raspberry and cherry.
- Eclipse – Forza
- Deep ruby color with aromas of plum, smoke and spice. Rich flavors of dark fruit, chocolate and cedar with lingering oak and a firm long finish.
- Showcase – Sonoma Vally Cabernet Sauvignon
- This replaces the Showcase Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Remember, you can keep up to date with what’s happening at Wines By Design by signing up for our newsletter on our Contact page.

Just a quick note to let you know that we’ll be closed Saturday, July 4th.
Enjoy your holiday and have a safe and happy Fourth of July!
Moscato + Strawberry Lemonade = ANOTHER delicious summer drink!
How about a glass of cold lemonade on one of those hot summer days? Lemonade is great whether you’re at a picnic, a backyard barbecue, sitting by the water, or out on a boat.
Moscato, along with lemonade, combine to make a wonderfully refreshing summer-time drink.

Port wine
We are now able to order ports and dessert wines for the upcoming season. However, we’d like your help in building our order.
Please review the list of this years ports and give us a hint of whether or not you’d like to put one of the dessert wines up!
No financial commitments, but we’ll reserve one for you, email you when it comes in, and hold it for you for up to 30 days!
To reserve a port/dessert wine, please visit the 2015 Ports are Coming reservation page.
We need to know before May 27, 2015, so please let us know as soon as possible!

red wine
Mother’s Day sneaking up on you? Don’t worry, Wines By Design can help!
Mom sometimes needs a break too. What better way to make that last than with 28-30 bottles of her favorite wine?
Consider a gift card for Mom from Wines By Design. Then let her make a day (or four) of it by coming on for our 4 visit 6 week process! She’ll leave at the end of six weeks with 28-30 bottles of her very own wine which she can enjoy in the months to come!
Whether Mom (or Mom-in-law!) likes her wine sweet or dry, white or red, a dessert wine or a fruit wine, we have something for Mom to make and enjoy.
Maybe she’d like:
- A glass of Chardonnay on a summer porch
- A glass of Green Apple Riesling on the lake
- A glass of Nebbiolo next to an evening campfire
And the list goes on and on and on. Consider giving mom a gift that she can relish throughout the year with a gift certificate from Wines By Design.
You can purchase a gift certificate right here on the Wines By Design website. Alternatively, please feel free to stop in and check us out first. (If you need to make sure that Mom will love it!)
We’re located at:
1424 Buffalo Rd.,
Rochester NY 14624.

White Peach Sangria
White Peach Sangria with white wine, what a perfect spring/summer drink!
Sangria, traditionally thought of as originating in Spain and Portugal, is a great way to enjoy your wine on a hot summer day. (Although it’s pretty nice on a porch swing too, we hear!)
Sangria normally consists of wine, chopped fruit, a sweetener and some brandy. For a fruit, you can use: oranges, lemons, limes, apples, peaches, melons, berries, pineapple, grapes, kiwifruit, and mango. For a sweetener, you may use: sugar, syrup, honey, or orange juice. Finally, you can also consider replacing the brandy with seltzer or a lemon/lime soda.
Check out our featured recipe for White Peach Sangria!
We’ll be posting additional recipes in the future, you’ll be able to find them all on our recipes page.
