The nation’s best and brightest mixologists are invited to submit their original recipes to create unique cocktails using brands from Ste. Michelle Wine Estates’ portfolio, including Anew Riesling, Michelle Sparkling Brut, Red Diamond Temperamental Red Blend and Torres Orange Liqueur. “Full of flavor on their own, these brands by Ste. Michelle Wine Estates mix incredibly well in cocktails,” says Tim Haughinberry, the owner of BACK BAR USA. “We are basically providing mixologists with the perfect collection of colors to paint a gorgeous canvas, and we look forward to tasting some very inventive cocktails.”
Recipes from the top eight finalists will be chosen and mixologists will be invited to compete at “Tales of the Cocktail.” Finalists will be awarded $1,000 to cover travel and accommodations and will have the opportunity to compete for a grand prize of $5,000. All entries will be reviewed by a team of celebrity mixologists, as well as by representatives from Ste. Michelle Wine Estates and BACK BAR USA.

Contestants may also enter by sending a letter with their first name, last name, valid email address and a photo and recipe of the cocktail along with a self-addressed and stamped envelope to: Shake The Vine Prize Package at 4224 W.
