Step back to the 1980s magic of hanging out in the mall, playing Pac-Man all day and tuning your Walkman to Casey Kasem's "American Top 40" while you sip an Orange Julius and act like you don't see your crush walking up to say "Oh, hey." That Orange Julius inspires the Icy Orange Blossom. Only, of course, we made it better with Duplin Orange Blossom wine.
Chock full of red and blue summer berries, plus starfruit, this nod to the Stars & Stripes is an easy, all-American, white wine sangria recipe, spiked with blueberry vodka. One sips and everyone will stand at salute this 4th of July.
If you've never experienced the wonderfully nutty flavor of arugula, this salad is the perfect introduction, says Duplin Dine & Wine host Frank. The leafy green available in the produce section of most supermarkets plays well against sweet and salty elements like the fresh oranges, pomegranate, golden raisins and parmesan cheese in this salad. Frank adds sliced almonds for crunch and a protein punch. A wonderful vegan side or main-course salad on its own, but you could bump it up with seared salmon, steamed shrimp or leftover rotisserie chicken.
Southerners are iced tea experts, and this spiked iced tea hits every mark. Sweet and refreshing, plus a little fizz and a Duplin wine kick.

Melty cheese dip loaded with sausage, and just so darn easy to make. Country Sausage Queso is the snack your NCAA basketball championship party needs. Or any sports party. We love it for Cinco de Mayo too or just when we don't feel much like cooking on the weekends.
Green beer is dandy, but the St. Patrick's Du-Mosa Mimosa packs a tasty punch sure to put the blarney in your brunch. Somewhere between cocktail and mimosa, it's a fancy green spritzer with a hint of sweet melon.
This St. Patrick's Day drink is proof that some storms can be fun. And, yes, the ingredients actually swirl like a storm.

Pour the Duplin Irish Storm into fancy liqueur glasses and serve it as part of your St. Patrick's Day desserts bar.
Move that pretty wine rack away from the window right now! Sunlight is just one of the things that can destory the flavor of wine. And there is nothing worst than opening a bottle of wine only to discover it just doesn't taste right. Top Duplin Winery bartender Frank tells you everything you need to know about how to store wine and keep it at its best.
We just upped the game on Korean cream cheese garlic bread for the ultimate Super Bowl, March Madness, Cinco de Mayo or anytime you have a party snack. This massive, pull-apart version is filled with the famous cheese dip you get at Duplin Winery tastings.
