When we introduced you to dough, we started with our Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon, found in your local restaurants and wine shops. Much like the foundation of a house, they are the building blocks of our brand and we’ve loved seeing how enthusiastic the response has been–from photos of holiday tables to takeout pairings to the ends of long Wednesdays.
But now we are ready to introduce something new, only available on doughwines.com : Our wines from some incredible appellations, available exclusively in three-pack sets to help you explore flavors. Just for you, for two, or a group (whatever that means in your part of the country) . For gifting, upgrading Tuesdays nights, and being a catalyst for great conversation. What does appellation wines mean? These wines come from specific AVAs. What’s an AVA? It’s a specific type of appellation of origin used on American wine labels – a delimited grape-growing region with specific geographic or climatic features that distinguish it from the surrounding regions and affect how grapes are grown.
This month we release our first wines available exclusively and directly to you in five curated wine sets each featuring three bottles. Spoiler alert: there will be four more curations and a few dazzling new wines in the New Year, but we are so excited by the wines Heidi Bridenhagen has crafted that we couldn’t wait!
Plus, in 2020, we all need a last minute gift idea that tastes good and does good.
Drumroll please . . .
