It’s Happy Hour Somewhere

Skinnygirl has certainly come a long way since Bethenny Frankel created the now recognizable brand a few years ago. Since its inception, Skinnygirl has added several wines and spirits to its already impressive catalogue. Now comes two new additions that you will be sure to love. The newest gals in town are the Skinnygirl Spicy Lime Margarita and Skinnygirl Pinot Noir. As wine lovers, we definitely enjoyed the Pinot Noir and can’t wait to pair it with a succulent filet mignon or braised chicken. We would recommend pairing the Spicy Lime Margarita flavour with a nice fish taco or just about any Mexican dish. Chip and Guac anyone?

Sippin’ Wine at the 12th Annual Sun Winefest

I am by all accounts a Rum and Vodka lover, however since the very first time I saw Olivia Pope wrap her lips around a wine glass I’ve been intrigued by this fermented grape beverage. What is so great about it? I’ve had wines and champagnes over the years sipping out of necessity but rarely with appreciation. Since I am a practicing foodie I need to open up my palate so I can speak knowledgeably about pairings and profiles. To help me with my quest my editor invited me to experience Mohegan Sun’s 12th Annual Sun Winefest. The event which raises money for charity features many booths from local and national vineyards all offering a sampling of their top products. Having been to Brewfest several times, I was excited at the opportunity to visit one of my favorite destinations. Mohegan Sun is an expansive venue with tons of great amenities and activities. Some of Mohegan Sun‘s features include:
