Ladies, it's almost 2009 and we know who we are now, don't
we? Or shouldn't we? Nowadays, we're
simultaneously wondering what to cook for dinner while checking
client emails on the fly and picking up the kids, groceries,
dry-cleaning, dogs or whatever on the way home. Whether
you're a single lady building a career while trying to
"date" or a stay-at-home mom with multiple academic
degrees on the shelf or a still-fabulous grandmother who completely
redefines the term, I guarantee that we are all united by one
thing: we deserve good wine!
I have worked in the wine business for over a decade now, and that
experience has proven to me that a good glass (or two!) of wine is
healthy for the heart in both senses of the term. Wine is
about sharing - sharing our hearts, our homes and our hopes while
also sharing that bottle. As a sommelier, I am biased in
favor of wine over other alcoholic drinks, largely because of the
many heart-friendly health benefits that wine offers.
It's also much more food-friendly than cocktails or beer, so
uncork a bottle of something yummy tonight while juggling the baby
or the puppy or the PDA. Our goal here at Girl Meets Grape
has always been to make wine something that is an everyday joy -
from a casual bottle over pizza on a Tuesday to a spectacular
Champagne drunk while celebrating life's milestones, we want
you to drink wine joyfully. Welcome to Shine and wine, the
new online home of Girl Meets Grape. We look forward to
sharing our favorite expert wine picks, some easy-to-understand
wine information that will have you feeling like a pro in no time
and lots of great suggestions for menu pairings that will enhance
meals both at home and in restaurants. Did you open a tasty
bottle of something lately? We love the way Shine makes
sharing easy, so weigh in on what YOU like and contribute to our
community of winelovers. What time is it? Somewhere, in
this great modern digital universe, it's always time to drink
wine. :)
