Bordeaux Wine Council Announces The "My Bordeaux Blend" Contest

NEW YORK, Nov. 28, 2012 The Bordeaux Wine Council has just launched the My Bordeaux Blend contest in the United States. Participants will only need to snap and upload a photo to Instagram using the hashtag #BordeauxBlend, alongside a description that explains how Bordeaux and Fall Fashion are the inspiration behind the image. Eligible entries include a snapshot of an outfit, home decor, or other examples of fall style. Entries can be uploaded to Instagram between November 15, 2012 and December 15, 2012.

Three winners will be determined based on how well they describe how Bordeaux and Fall Fashion are intertwined in their snapshot as well as their style and creativity. Laura Ellner of OnTheRacks (http://www.ontheracks.com/), a blog about fashion, life, and libations will select the three winners. The winners will receive a prize worth $500. The prize will feature a set of Riedel wine glasses and a choice of a Bordeaux-hued designer fashion accessory. The prizes will include options for both genders, including a GANT by Michael Bastian sweater and a Hugh & Crye shirt for men and a Clutches of Karma bag for women. Clutches of Karma is a social enterprise that contributes proceeds from bags made of materials like stingray-skin and wood to schools in the Philippines.
