Pacific Rim Riesling and Sara Lee, the Perfect Holiday Pairing + giveaway!


During the holidays, I serve a lot more wine than usual. My guests love it so I always have it handy. I am not a wine expert so I am always a little unsure what wine to serve with my meals and desserts. Luckily, this holiday Pacific Rim Riesling wines and Sara Lee desserts are making it easy.

I received 3 lovely bottles of Pacific Rim Riesling wine and recipes for desserts using Sara Lee products. The information I received also gave me the pairings, which was so helpful. This is fantastic because I never have any idea what wine to serve with each meal or dessert. So this makes my life so much easier.


I love the holidays because I love cooking. I love making a whole Thanksgiving dinner. I love cooking for Christmas and New Year's as well. What I don't like about the holidays is making dessert. I can cook almost everything but baking is something that I don't do very well.

So sometimes, I get a little help by picking up ready made pies and sweets. It makes my life so much easier and my guests really have no idea if I made it or not. I always come clean but after they have the dessert. One of those products that I always go to is Sara Lee frozen desserts and now I can impress my guests by pairing these goodies with the Pacific Rim wines.


I really loved the Pacific Rim wines. The wines came in dry, off-dry and sweet. I am all about sweet wines. I love them as a cocktail with fruit or with dinner. And the sweet wine was absolutely delicious with my Sara Lee cheesecake with strawberries on top. Delicious. Check out the website for more pairing that will make your holidays so wonderful.

There is a wine for every palate and a wine for every dish. Pacific Rim Riesling wines are the perfect wine for the holidays. I know I will be serving these wines with my Thanksgiving dinner and also with my New Year's Eve meal. You can find Pacific Rim Wines at your local grocery and liquor stores.

So remember this holiday season, bring a little Riesling to the party!
