About this Challenge

Planning the perfect date night can be challenging! Between dating apps and lockdown, our options are pretty limited—so you’ll have to use your imagination. For this Challenge, we’d like you to create a fiction story about a first date. Whether it involves a romantic candlelit dinner, a stage five clinger who won’t stop calling, or a mysterious blind date planned by your friends, the details are entirely up to you—the only requirement is that at some point in your first date narrative you mention a glass of Merlot. Luckily for you, we’ve partnered with Bright Cellars for this Challenge so you can browse their incredible wine selection for some inspiration, find the Merlot that really fits your taste, and get started!
