Orange Glad Dessert Box - July Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

I just love good desserts.  Orange Glad is a great subscription box for the dessert lover.  I fell in love with this gourmet dessert subscription box a few months back when I first found out about it.  Have you tried out the Orange Glad subscription box?  This is a box that arrives in your mailbox and has a variety of sample size desserts in it.  You will never know exactly what you will receive each month.  I enjoy opening the box each time to see what is inside.  

My July Orange Glad box was just as impressive as the previous ones that I have received.  They hand pick quality desserts to put in this box.  I received a huge Cranberry Muffin Top from Seattle's Favorite Gourmet Cookies and Dessert Co.  This muffin top was flavorful and had a really soft texture.  My kids really enjoyed the Sugar Cookies from Gianna's Homemade Baked Goods.  They gobbled these up quickly.  I really liked the Ice-Dream Sandwich from Orange Glad.  This is their very own creation.  These are a buttery sugar cookie.  It can be eaten all by itself, but you can also use them to create your very own ice cream sandwich.  I also received a decadent Hazelnut Cheesecake Brownie from the Chocolate Maven.  This is a gooey brownie that is topped with cheesecake.  It was so good.  I also really enjoyed the Chocolate Babka from Lily's Bakery Shop.  This is a tasty cake that is perfect to eat with coffee.

What is in my wine glass?

You have seen William Hill Estate Winery featured on my blog a few times.  This is an impressive winery that has excellent wines.  Have you tried any of these?  They offer a great selection of red and white wines.  I was recently given the opportunity to try some of their newly released wines.  They have a Central Coast Merlot, and a Central Coast Sauvignon Blanc.  Which one would you want to try?

William Hill Central Coast Sauvignon Blanc

This is a dry white wine.  Although, it does have notes of fruitness to it.  It has hints of Meyer lemon, lychee, and more.  The wine is served best chilled and super cold.  It is a great crisp white to serve in the Summer too!  It is easy to drink and perfect for entertaining.  This wine is made from Sauvignon grapes from the North Coast.  It retails for about $17 a bottle.  The wine would be perfect paired with grilled chicken or pork.  What would you pair it with?

William Hill Central Coast Merlot

I really love a great dry red wine.  This wine is just that.  The William Hill Central Coast Merlot is a smooth red.  It is similar to a Cab, but not as rich in flavor.  This Merlot is made with Merlot grapes from the Central Coast.  The wine has a hint of spiciness to it.  This wine retails for about $17 a bottle too.
