This is anything but your typical black dress… though you will hear no argument from me on the importance of the LBD being in your wardrobe, but we are talking wine people. Stop drooling over the idea of your next shopping trip ladies and lets move on.

Little Red Dress has a Pinot Noir that is worthy of mentioning. As I proclaimed last week, I am far from being a fan of red wines. However, I tried this red on a whim and must say I was pleasantly surprised. It has enough of a fruity flavor to please atypically white wine drinker like myself, yet not overpoweringly sweet for those with a preference for a drier wine. 

Here is the down and dirty on Little Black Dress- this alluring wine is palette pleasing with it’s aromas of cherry, clove, and light floral notes. The lingering finish of strawberry and pomegranate leaves you craving more. So forget the Little Black Dress as you know it and try this on for size. I think you will find it to be a perfect fit.

I have been whole heartedly trying to get back into a story I put aside for a bit. It has been a bit of a struggle getting reacquainted with the story line, as it is ever evolving. A good thing I think, but it could drive a girl to drink. Oh wait… this is wine Wednesday. I misunderstood. Well forgive my folly.

I love wine, but at the moment, I tend to stay to the sweeter and predominantly white wines. However, thanks to my father and the family wine aficionado known as my darling cousin Joey… my efforts to expand my palette are well supported. So here’s to sharing my wine journey with you…

Montevina’s Terra d’Oro Moscato is a wine I have enjoyed on several occasions. Here’s the down and dirty of it.

Terra d’Oro’s 2006 Moscato literally comes alive with super-fruity super flowery aromas. It’s an exquisite glass of sweetness brimming with many layers to tempt the taste buds. Although many will naturally want to pair this luxurious wine with a dessert, I took the Montevina website up on their suggestion and agree it is a great accompaniment to spicy cuisine. 

If you aren’t a huge fan of sweet wines, I simply ask you give this a try. You might find it quite enjoyable paired with Szechwan Cuisine…. might a suggest a little Kung Pao Chicken? Slàinte
