Basignani Winery – Wine and Cheese Pairing

As a member of the Junior League of Baltimore, our President Elect – Cylia Lowe hosted a July BBQ at the winery for members.  We enjoyed a traditional wine pairing starting with dry white, dry reds and sweet wine. Members also savored a variety of cheese  and cracker selections to help enhance our palate.

Normally I prefer a glass of Chardonnay but after enjoying a few options at Basignani I concluded that the tasting was worth the visit. And aside from having delicious wine and cheese the vineyard was beautiful and comfortable.  Visitors were also able to purchase a bottle of wine after their pairing to take home.

We concluded our afternoon under the patio (piazza) with a meeting and chat.  The location made a beautiful backdrop for photos and warm memories.

If you’re looking for a relaxing afternoon and beautiful atmosphere, visit Basignani Winery and tell them Style + Life + Fashion sent you there!

WUSA 9 Washington DC National Wine Day Television Segment

Style + Life + Fashion discussed beauty products that are infused with red grapes on WUSA 9 CBS to celebrate National Wine Day 2014.

The primary focus of the segment was to share the beauty benefits of red grapes such as: preventing moisture loss, cell damage, and cleanse the body of impurities. According to the writeup, “the skin and seeds of red grapes contain Resveratrol that controls the aging process.”

Most importantly, the products can be used without receiving the added side effects of drinking wine.

Sangria Sundays with [Yellow Tail] Wine – Simply Delicious

What better way to celebrate the new season than with a bottle of [Yellow Tail] Sangria.  Because it’s officially Spring, we can (now) say cheers to the warm sun by partaking in Sangria Sundays. The concept behind Sangria Sundays is for everyone to slow down, relax, and have a great glass of wine

I was super excited to receive my [Yellow Tail] Sangria package in the mail (by surprise) and eager to partake in a glass of wine. Aside from receiving a bottle of wine, the company also sent an official Yellow Tail candle, Sangria nail polish/decals, and a really cool booklet.

 

To make the experience worth while I chopped up a few apples and strawberries to put in my glass.  I also did a little “research” and found some delicious goodies to eat.

Overall, the [Yellow Tail] Sangria was delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed partaking in Sangria Sundays!  I’m looking forward to hosting a Girls Night In with a tasty glass of Sangria.
