Duplin Family Favorites | Kelly

The staff of Duplin decided that we wanted to keep helping our customers learn about the different flavors of Duplin, but instead of asking you what you like, we'll share what we like! We are putting together special Duplin staff recommendations and are calling it Duplin Family Favorites because we know that the staff and our customers are all considered family in Duplin's eyes.

Grapetastic Basket

Hey there, I'm Kelly Jean and I'm actually going to share with you some of my favorite things here at the winery that maybe you have overlooked. If you're missing coming into the retail store and seeing us, and God knows we missed you all, so I wanted to bring to you my Grapetastic Basket. These are all the things that you love about Muscadines, besides the wine, that maybe you have overlooked and would be awesome in your house right now.

Did you know that we make Muscadine candles? We try to repurpose everything that we have here at Duplin and these make your whole house smell just like a bottle of wine. I know we all need that since we're stuck at home and we need some ambiance. We have the Muscadine candles, also if you're coming up with different dishes, you've gone through all your pasta, you've gone through all your snacks, you want something lighter because it's been nice outside.

Well, we make Muscadine Orange Poppy Seed Dressing - that's awesome on pasta salads and fruit salads. I wouldn't recommend it straight out of the bottle if you're getting desperate for snacks but put it on your favorite topping. Or marinade chicken, it's yummy.

Next, for the grape lovers, we have these fun things these are actually Grape Toppers. So, let's say you have your drink in your house or outside in the backyard -- if you're like me and my dog -- she loves putting her snout in everything in the house. If you put these on your glass cover the dog stays out of it, the bugs stay out of it, it keeps your glass covered. Just asked my Aunt Rose, she hates it when stuff gets in her glass.

These are just little things, in case you missed us and you want some Duplin at home, get any of these items and have your own wine tasting, have your own party. I know I do when I get off work here.
