The Perfect Gift for a Sweet Tooth

 

Von Stiehl Wisconsin Winery has the perfect gift for folks with a Sweet Tooth (Sweet Teeth?).

Members of our Sweets Club receive five gifts a year. Each one contains 2 bottles of semi-sweet or sweet wine, and a sweet treat. We pair the wines with the sweet, and they are meant to be enjoyed together.

This is a great gift for anyone who likes to drink wine, from budding wine drinkers to folks who've had many years with the bottle. Our Sweets Club introduces wines to novice wine drinkers. It helps seasoned oenophiles get out of ruts by introducing wines they might not choose on their own. In addition, it educates recipients on the wonderful science of pairing wine and desserts (not always an easy task, but so worth the effort).

Plus, the Sweets Club is a gift that arrives at regular intervals throughout the year. It's a wonderful way for folks who live far from the recipient to stay in touch: each time the recipient opens the wine and sweet, they'll think of you. Likewise, it's a wonderful way to connect with friends and family who live nearby: when the shipment arrives, you can enjoy it together. That's what we call a "win, win" situation.

So give a gift of Wisconsin Wine this holiday season; sweet wines for the sweetest people in your life.

Picture this, five times a year.

Serve Wisconsin Wine at Easter Dinner

Easter is a wonderful time to come together with family and friends. This year, whether you are the host of Easter dinner or a guest, consider opening a bottle of our von Stiehl Wisconsin Wine.

Many families enjoy roast lamb or honey-baked ham for Easter dinner. Roast lamb goes well with strong reds, such as our Meritage Wisconsin Red Wine. Try pairing a honey-baked ham with our Christmas Blush, a semi-dry white with a hint of cherries. Lakeshore Mist Wisconsin White Wine would also be an excellent accompaniment to a baked ham dinner.

Crisp, fruity Mademoiselle - a blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Traminette grapes - was released last summer. As days and evenings grow warmer, it feels time to pour Mademoiselle once again. Enjoy a glass of Mademoiselle after dinner with a light, spring-time dessert such as a plate of colorful cookies; it is sweet enough to function as a dessert itself. Our newest release - White Stiletto - is made from the same grapes but is less sweet. It pairs well with everything from salads to grilled foods to cakes.

Winter is putting up a strong fight this year, but spring is sure to eventually conquer it. Toast its arrival at Easter dinner with Wisconsin Wine.
