The wedding day is one of the most important in a person’s life, and today’s brides- and grooms-to-be strive to create a one-of-a-kind experience that is both personal and memorable for their guests - all while trying to stay within their budget. For one lucky couple, Mirassou Winery plans to help.

Mirassou Winery has announced its 6th annual “I Do with Mirassou” contest, which will help one engaged couple with both the cost of their wedding and a special, personalized California-cuisine-inspired wedding menu designed in conjunction with two food and wine experts: Celebrity Chef Aida Mollenkamp and sixth generation of America’s oldest winemaking family, David Mirassou.

This year’s contest runs from now through June 27, 2010 at www.mirassou.com. Couples can enter to win $10,000, plus a trip to San Francisco and northern California wine country for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet with wine expert David Mirassou and Celebrity Chef Aida Mollenkamp, host of the popular Food Network show “Ask Aida,” to plan their custom California-inspired wedding menu, complete with food and wine pairings.

The winning couple will be announced in August and will meet with Aida and David this fall to learn about the hottest wedding food and wine trends, as well as plan their own personalized wedding menu. Go to www.mirassou.com to view the official rules and enter to win.
