"May Your Home Always Be Too Small To Hold All Your Friends." - Irish Proverb
It's Spring. It's still tax season (for some of us). The weather is warming up. All reasons to pop open a bottle of wine and invite friends over (yes, even to help you get through taxes -- whether to spend your return on a great bottle or commiserate over what you owe 💸). Today’s post is all about parties - what to pour, what glass to use, and a Belle & Bottle happy hour that you can attend. Cheers! 🥂
Spring Sparkle
Glow Glow. The name alone makes you smile. This Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) wine is a delight to drink. Light, refreshing, with a burst of red currant, sour cherry and smokey Negroni (really!). Created by siblings Pauline and Carl Baumberger, sixth generation winemakers from Mandel, in the Nahe region of Germany. You will love this wine, full stop. 🍇 Retails for around $17.99. ABV: 13%. I was able to find it in NY State, but if you have trouble sourcing it, you can order it online. Or, let this post just inspire you to find something equally as delightful to drink on this Thursday eve.
The Best Glasses (that are not actually glass) for Outdoor Entertaining
Maybe you can relate to this experience. Outdoor entertaining season is suddenly here and you've got a revolving door of friends and family who want to hang out on your deck (or fire escape) every weekend. You pull out last year's plastic wine glasses that seemed so fantastic, only to find that they've become cloudy, cracked, and generally less than ideal. After several seasons of research, I'm thrilled to tell you that the Govino Go Anywhere wine glasses actually hold up without disintegrating over time. They also look great and feel good in the hand. And because it's also important to take care of Mother Earth, we like Govino for their REUSE philosophy - meaning, their glasses are made to last vs. per use or plastic that degrades over time. 4-pack: $24.95
We’re thrilled to be here! x Belle & Bottle
