2010 Adegas Cooperativos de Moncao "Muralhas" Rosé Vinho Verde
No nation of people know how to party quite like the Brazilians, and no wine gets the party going quite like Vinho Verde, the traditionally effervescent and fruity style of wine produced in the northerly region of Portugal near the Spanish border for which it gets its name. When made in a rosé style such as the 2010 Adegas Cooperativos de Moncao "Muralhas" Rosé Vinho Verde (a blend of native grape varietals), the brief skin contact tints the wine a glorious shade of pink, intensifying the raspberry, melon, and citrus aromatics while adding texture and mouthwatering acidity to the palate. Not very much rosé Vinho Verde is produced, so it makes for a colorful, unique yet universally appealing wine offering that pairs with a variety of foods. Served chilled, this lower alcohol (11% abv) rosé is the perfect wine to keep you on your samba toes all night long.

40% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Meunier. Champagne never goes out of style, is very food-friendly, and adds a touch of class to any occasion, from Black Tie to the beach (like the Stella & Dot La Coco necklace, which can be worn as a necklace, bracelet, and mixed and matched with different brooches for a variety of looks) The Ariston "Carte Blanche" is a grower Champagne from the small commune of Brouillet. It is a brilliant light gold color with a fine bead; the palate is powerful and expressive but balanced.

Pinot Gris has become fashionable again, thanks to the rediscovery of artisan producers in cool-climates like Beck-Hartweg of Alsace, France. The 2009 “Cuvee Prestige” Pinot Gris balances aromatics with minerality; whimsy with substance. Tradition and modernity come together in this wine as well. These 14th generation artisan producers have been making wine from the same site for centuries using practices that are so old school they are hip by today’s standards: farming organically without pesticides, promoting biodiversity, fermenting with natural yeasts, and using no additives in the wine (other than naturally occurring SO2). Here’s a wine that is in touch with its roots by isn’t afraid to show its feminine side.

2008 Descendientes de Jose Palacios "Petalos del Bierzo" Bierzo $17.99Few are aware of this Spanish red wine gem, produced in the northwest region of Bierzo (part of Gallicia), but word is spreading. When made in a more modern style like the “Petalos,” you get the best of all worlds. Exotic aromas (smoky Syrah meets perfumed Pinot?) lead to a palate that is textured and distinctive but still velvety and lush…chic and universally appealing.
