We'd like to take this time to clearify how the Limited edition preorders work.
You do not pay untill your kits come in during the New Year January through April. So depending what months you have chosen the funds will not come out of your account till then and the wine will be started sometime through the month you have chosen. So if you feel you have to much wine now and don't need it right now,well tha'ts o.k. because you will not bottle your wine for 6-8 weeks from the month  which it was started and longer if you choose to Oak age it. Add another 2 month for oak aging.
so don't miss out on these great unique wine because you think you have enough wine now or if you feel it is not in the budget now because you 
 
Don't pay

LIMITED EDITION 2011
 WINE AND FOOD PAIRING EVENING

Wow !!! What a night we had for the Limited Edition Preview. We had a sold out house, a lot of fun,great wine, food and many guest said a real education about pairing wine and food.
I would like to take this time to personally Thank Donna,Graham,Steve,Naomi  Racheal, Dyane from Royston Coffee,Nicola from The Bridge and our  Great staff.Alison Peter,Holy and Mya for making this evening such a success, and to all who attended.
During the evening I had many questions about a number of the dishes and the recipes. If you did not receive a recipe book and want to make some of the dishes we served, please go to our web site www.thewinecottageca and go to Limited Edition. Just a few pointers on some of the dishes. I was asked a lot about the Mediterranean Bean salad and thought I should tell you the difference about my salad verses the recipe. I substatuted canned medley beans for butter beans(aka Lima beans Not a big fan) and cannellini beans are hard to find, try specialty & deli sections. I also make the salad the day before with all ingredients(roatsed garlic rather than raw) except the fresh dill which I put in first thing in the morning and the cheese about an hour or two before serving.The other dish many people asked about was the scallops with yam.To make it a little easier back yam then peal and cut back on the onions I tripled the recipe for the evening and think I only used about !/2 of a large white Spanish onion. 
Happy Happy cooking 
and 
enjoy your wines with your creations.
Now onto the 2011 Limited Editions!!!
Limited Edition 2011 Five Unique Wine Blends
ONLY 21 DAYS LEFT TO ORDER!!!!
Imagine if you will that we lived in a world of one-monosyllabic,single colours and smells. This would not be a world most of us would willfully choose, yet when we talk about wine,many consumers seek out varietal wines, even though numerous studies confirm we actually prefer blended wine.
 
This is why Winexpert has created 5 different blends possibly unlike anything else on the market.
 
Washington Meritage - A blend of 3 wines Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc & Petite Verdot. 
California Petite SirahZinfandel - A very bold and deeply coloured red wine with great power and length. Nothing pink about it.
South African Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon. A blend of Sauvignon and  the little less known Semillon grape. A real favorite at the tasting especially with the scallop dish. 
German Traminer Spatlese - An off dry blend of Traminer and Spatlese ( German wine term for late harvest) If you like the Pacifica last year you will love this wine.
Spanish Matador Trio Red - A blend of  Tempranillo Cabernet Sauvignon and again a little less know Monasrell
