Calling all Soup Lovers!
Do you have a killer recipe for clam chowder? Is your minestrone mind blowing? Is your goulash great at parties? If so, we want to feature your culinary creation at our annual soup contest! We are looking for a few soup savants who are willing to submit their signature soup to be judged during our Fall Barrel Tasting Weekend, November 24 – 26th. We limit it to three soups per day and wine tasting guests will sample each soup and vote for their favorite. The creator of the top-rated soup for each day goes home with a bottle of Williamson wine! Let us know which day you would like to enter (Nov. 24th, 25th or 26th) and the type of soup you will be bringing. Deadline to enter is November 10th.
Years ago we had hired a food truck to come out and cook for our guests during one of our biggest weekends of the year. Tragedy struck and the food truck had to back out last minute. Gasp! However, our amazing staff said “Never fear!” and offered to cook some soups to sooth and warm the hungry crowd. Naturally, a little friendly competition bubbled up when guests started naming their favorite soups. The following year the staff started taking “official” votes to see whose soup was superior. Over the years family, friends and wine club members have offered to get in on the fun!
Please email us at wine@willorch.com or call the tasting room (208) 459-7333 to sign up your favorite soup!
