CALL for ENTRIES: Wine Label Contest

HAILING
a cab

I would hurt someone for a pepper-crusted cut of ahi right now. Understand, ahi is not a common food in my house. I’m too cheap, and Gatlinburg isn’t really known for more exotic varieties of fish. But some days you wake up and you just want what you want. You know what would be even better? A big glass of Cabernet Sauvignon to go with the ahi tuna. Okay, the Cab I can pull off pretty easily. This next Call gives you a perfect reason to sample a little Cabernet Sauvignon as well. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from RARE Hospitality International, Inc. dba Capital Grille for the Artist Series Wine Label Contest. The Grand Prize includes a fantastic trip, and of course, artistic immortality on a wine label. You have LESS than a week left to enter, so don’t delay…
