Napa Valley in Northern California has long been considered the place to go for the best wines our state has to offer. But it hasn’t always been that way. The valley captured world attention in 1976 during the so-called “Judgment of Paris,” when its wines were blind-tasted against French wines and, to the amazement of wine snobs everywhere, outranked them.

And the #Resolve2Renovate winner is…
Last week, we hosted the #Resolve2Renovate Contest on our Facebook page. Over 75 participants entered the contest, all with the hope of winning a $50 Lowe’s gift card to kick-start their upcoming projects.
Our contestants were asked to answer one question for a chance to be entered to win:
What do you #Resolve2Renovate in 2016?
We received tons of amazing answers, such as opening up a family room and kitchen area to reveal beautiful views, to updating ’70s-style kitchens, to wanting to renovate an entire fixer-upper home recently purchased in Santa Barbara.
Unfortunately, we were only able to randomly select one entrant to be the winner, and it’s Charlie Hobby. Charlie resolved to renovate his master bedroom and bathroom, and we are excited to be able to give him a headstart!
If you would like to see more of the answers from our contestants, you can check them out on our Facebook page or here.
If you entered and didn’t win, or missed the contest, don’t worry! Simply like our Facebook page and wait– we have more contests in store for 2016.
