The Paris 2024 Olympics start July 26 and there’s no better way to celebrate than staging your own Olympic Games of the World’s Greatest Wines party.

The first day of spring is March 19 this year. So you must be asking: What wine pairs best with the scent of tulips around my patio? What if I just want to lay in a lawn chair and stare at the clouds? These four wines are exactly what you need for outdoor drinking as the weather warms up.

There's nothing better than tucking into creamy crab dip, and this super easy version is equally delicious chilled or hot and bubbly from the oven. Serve it either way! Use your favorite crab, and be sure to pick out any shell fragments before stirring the crab into the dip. Blue crab, snow crab and king crab all work. Claw, lump or backfin crab meat is fine. 

We spiked this sweet, winter berry wine slushie with spiced rum and then spooned creamy eggnog on top. A sprinkling of nutmeg was the final touch. 

Wiggle thy toes, open thine eyes, twist thy fingers toward the sky. Life is sweet, be not shy. Use our Hocus Pocus 2 Watch Party Wine Kit for a magical night of Halloween fun.

A wine-blending party lets everyone get creative and end up with something personal. Guests had a blast when we did this with our Duplin Cotton Candy wines. Everyone wanted everyone else to taste what they had mixed. It was a wine-tasting party as much as a wine-blending party.
