Speak wine

There is a new ad in the fashion industry that reads: “If you speak fashion, you speak Italian”. I found it fantastic as I think that the same happens with us. “If you speak women, you speak wine”. We all love wine as much as we love having a manicure or buying great stilettos at DSW!

This weekend I visited my local wine store, “Tower”, where Ray, their wine consultant recommended a new organic wine that had just arrived at the store. This is the easiest way for women to start learning about wine, visiting the same store, where you could usually go and get your questions answered. Trust them, they are there to help and guide you. Next thing you know, you are an expert too!

So it was Friday night and I went out for dinner to Top Flr, a very cute and fun restaurant in Midtown, Atlanta, where the owner and all the waiters are absolutely adorable and the Tuna Tartar is out of this world! I always like to try a new wine and this time I had a red wine, Bodegas Sur de los Andes, Bonarda (a red Piedmont grape that is planted in Argentina) that was fantastic. Not too strong, not too light, perfect for women.

On Saturday night we went out to a friend’s house and as usual we had a great time trying different wine. We had a red sparkling Syrah, which I did not like but the men did like it and a Crios Syrah Bonarda from Argentina. This red wine was light and berry-like and I really enjoyed it.

So, stand tall, dress fancy and save some extra time for yourself this week and search the web for your local wine store. I’m sure that as soon as they see you, they will be eager to answer all your questions. These guys know a lot and we certainly need them!

Tip of the week :  wine age best, stored horizontally at a cool temperature.
