Wine Pull

Corn Days Wine Pull: How Does It Work? People purchase ‘wine pulls’ for $20 for 1 pull or $35 for 2 pulls. You pull a wrapped wine bottle (wrapped to hide the bottle and value) from a selection of expensive, medium-range, and cheap wines. The biggest part of the fun is the surprise of which wine you pull and having the opportunity to try a new wine!
