Victorianbourg Wine Estate
Spanakopita (a Greek savory dish of cheeses, scallions, spinach flavored with olive oil, lemon juice, and assorted spices, all wrapped in a crispy filo dough), paired with our two delightful and intensely flavorful Traminette wines: Off-Dry Traminette Special Selection (for dry wine drinkers), and Semi-Sweet Traminette (for those who prefer sweeter wines).

Long Cliff Winery & Vineyards
5 samples to choose 3 (three) pairings of wine & pretzel crisps from for $4. Options include:
- Original Pretzel Crisps & Hennepin Platinum (Dry Rose wine) - Unique blend makes a tart & crisp dry wine option for a refreshing summer party drink.
- Garlic Parmesan & 2012 Sauvignon Blanc Reserve - Crisp, elegant and fresh! Grassy aromatics. Bright palate filled with tropical notes & refreshing acidity.
- Everything Flavor paired w/ 2012 Pinot Noir - Finished in American oak, the aging process in this barrel brings out bold vanilla notes, making the red fruit flavors feel sweeter.
- Salted Caramel & NV Semi Sweet Riesling (Palate friendly!) - The low acidity yields a silky soft wine with crisp stone fruit flavors. Candied apricots & peach jelly.
- Dark Chocolate & 2013 Lemberger Reserve (New Release!) - Buttered toast on the nose gives way to a rich palate of raspberry jam!
