Fashion photo-goddess Donna Trope serves up a Valentine’s vision, with the help of Nicolas Feuillatte cuvée de prestige Palmes d’Or Rosé. A Champagne with cachet, meant for a different crowd, folks not afraid to stray from the Serengeti of style for the masses. The winery claims “a subtle animal hint makes this wine powerful and […]

I will probably be home sipping some sparkling Vouvray on Wednesday,  but if I had my choice of any Valentine’s Day dinner in the world, I would certainly whisk my husband off to Le Musée du Vin in Paris.
This year, the museum is offering a special Valentine’s Day dinner. The unforgettable evening will include a candlelight […]

Ask me about Valentine’s Day in a non-cynical moment and I’ll actually focus on the positive. Valentine’s Day should be a day to do something good for your beloved.

Built NY has come out with the Wine Drip Collar ($12.99/2), designed to protect your guests […]

February 24th has been set as Open That Bottle Night by the good folks at Wine Outlook.
The idea is that all those bottles you are saving for a special occasion need a special occasion, and what is more special than Open That Bottle Night!
Rummage in the cellar, under the stairs of where-ever you store your […]

Holly Howell of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle recently jumped up on a soapbox in favor of the benefits of wine with dinner.  We already know about the health benefits from both white and red wine, but did you know that wine can actually make your food taste better?
