I’ve got an exciting week planned ahead. In a very special East Coast Guest Posts series, a number of local makers & purveyors of beer and wine will be posting about their experiences. You’ll hear from Hannah Stuart of Bishop’s Cellar, Simon Rafuse from Blomidon Estate Winery, Audrey Firth of DesBarres Manor Inn, and Greg Nash from Hart & Thistle Gastropub & Brewery.
Not just that, we’ve also got a great contest lined up, with a prize package of: two bottles of wine from Blomidon Estate Winery, a $25 gift certificate from Bishop’s Cellar, a free bottle of wine with the purchase of a meal at DesBarres Manor Inn, and t-shirts from Hart & Thistle.
All you have to do is leave a comment on the blog any time this week (one entry per blog posting). That means if you comment on each post—including this one—you’ll get five entries. For extra entries, Tweet about your fave East Coast beverage using the hashtag #ECBC (that’s short for East Coast By Choice). One Twitter entry per day. And, finally, the one restriction is that you must be of legal drinking age to enter. Contest closes midnight (AT) on Sunday, October 11. The winner will be randomly selected and announced on the site next week.
Now start talking about the great wine, beer, spirits, or even bottled pop that’s offered on this side of Canada.

Great contest! I’m excited. I may have peed a little.
Fantastic idea. More people need to drink local.
This is exciting! Maybe not pee-your-pants exciting but still…
I’m really interested in what the wine makers say about the whole Canadian content thing, which has Ontario wine makers’ shorts in a knot.
participation is key – love Bishops and their staff!
Great idea for a contest. I am off to do a taste testing before I tweet my favourites, wish me luck.
My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find the majority of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content available for you? I wouldn’t mind creating a post or elaborating on a few of the subjects you write related to here. Again, awesome web log!
