Think you mix a mean Sangria? Here’s your chance to prove it

A Taste of Wine, 90 S. Main St. in Miamisburg, will host a sangria smackdown — a sangria-making contest followed by, naturally, a sangria tasting (or in this case, tasting and judging) — on Saturday, May 3.

The sangria-making contest will start at noon, and the tasting/judging will start about 2:15 p.m. and last until about 6 p.m. Prizes — including a Taste of Wine gift certificate and donations to the winner’s charity of choice — will be awarded for both best red and best white sangrias.

Here are the Taste of Wine sangria contest rules:

— There’s a $10 entrance fee.

— The wine you use for the sangria must be purchased at Taste of Wine (the shop can special-order a wine if you desire).

— Sangria must be made at the wine shop, not mixed at home and carried in. BYOF — Bring your own fruit.

— Your recipe must make one gallon.

For more information or to RSVP, call A Taste of Wine at 937-247-1120.

Wine & Dine: More local restaurants are offering wine tasting/dinner pairings [review]

Wine glasses

Some are searching for new customers. Others are looking for a test market for new appetizers or entrees. Others want customer feedback on which new wines to add to the wine list. Whatever their reasons, more restaurants in the Dayton area are using wine tastings and wine dinners to try to get new, fresh faces to cross their doorsteps. A decade ago, diners could easily count on one hand the number of restaurants that held regular wine events. Now, the number exceeds a dozen and is growing. More »
