It is a blend of three unique varietals, Petite <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Syrah</span>, Zinfandel and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Mourvedre</span>... definitely a winning combination!<br /><br />Surrounded by over 2 ft of snow here in Connecticut this is the perfect wine for a Friday night in front of the fire.<br />Happy Friday Everyone! Cheers!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tasting Notes:</span><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Combines lush berry and fierce spice into a wine of complex character. Vivid essence of black pepper, dark fruit and juniper haunts the nose, while brighter flavors of blackberries and blueberries glance off the palate. From the shadows, toasty cinnamon and nutmeg emerge, subtly embracing the deeply luscious and succulent fruit to create a full-bodied, ruby rich wine. Captured in 1, 2 and 3 year old American oak barrels, this wine showcases the best these distinct varietals have to offer.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;"> Though the wine is remarkable now, age in the bottle will only integrate the three varietals more. </span> </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632249756727665955.post-55889330773805180552011-01-12T05:12:00.000-08:002011-01-14T04:55:57.116-08:00Wedding Wednesday: A Waterfront Wedding...

One of my absolute favorite cities! After visiting in May for <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2010/07/06/from-inspiration-to-wedding-the-design/">Libby and Patrick's</a> wedding I was hooked, and it was the perfect place to fly to ring in the new year. During the day on New Years Eve we visited <a href="http://www.arringtonvineyards.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Arrington</span> Vineyards</a>, the winery owned by <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Kix</span> Brooks. I just love visiting wineries in different states!<br /><br />Perched on a hill the vineyard is gorgeous, with a wrap around deck, and tons of picnic tables spread throughout the property to sit and enjoy their wines. Inside they invite you to a complimentary tasting of four of the wines in their impressive portfolio. I really enjoyed the <a href="http://www.arringtonvineyards.com/viognier09"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Viognier</span></a> and <a href="http://www.arringtonvineyards.com/chardonnay09">Chardonnay</a>. But the <a href="http://www.arringtonvineyards.com/redfoxred08">Red Fox Red </a>and <a href="http://www.arringtonvineyards.com/kb308">KB308</a> were two favorites as well. And I can't forget to mention they have some really delicious fruit and dessert wines. I loved the <a href="http://www.arringtonvineyards.com/encore08">Encore</a>, a rich, sweet, port style desert wine. This is a must visit if you are in Nashville! Or if you are curious and want to have wines shipped visit their <a href="http://www.arringtonvineyards.com/index.cfm?method=storeproducts.showlist&productcategoryid=3eda3c84-1cc4-fbb6-2329-78708a9587de&maxrows=1000">website</a>.</span> <span style="font-size:85%;">Happy Friday!

I can't even begin to express how, <span style="font-style: italic;">jump up and down, let me catch my breath</span>, excited we were to have two of our weddings selected in the top 20. Considering there have been 4 weddings featured every day for over a year, totaling just over 1,000 weddings we are so honored and humbled. A huge thank you to all the readers for your comments, tweets, love and recognition. And an extra special Congratulations to the Style Me Pretty Team that continues to impress, inspire and amaze me and thousands of readers on a daily basis. This is such a beautiful magazine and collection of events from the year.<br /><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632249756727665955.post-1414875246907732142011-01-03T03:41:00.000-08:002011-01-04T04:21:38.267-08:00Coffee Talk Monday..A New Year and a New Workout Plan<object width="400" height="250"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yXxXWmJMjuA?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yXxXWmJMjuA?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="250"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Every January 1st people commit to a new list of resolutions, which somehow always at the top of is "going more frequently to the gym." And it becomes ridiculously crowded for a few months and what once was enjoyable becomes more frustrating than anything else. So I decided I am going to mix it up and commit to the <a href="http://tracyandersonmethod.com/">Tracy Anderson Method. </a><br /><br />I have been intrigued for a while by Tracey Anderson's method, and how she has helped to transform many celebrity bodies (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Gwenyth</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Paltrow</span>, Courtney Cox, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Shakira</span>, etc.) Her videos, and approach to exercise are fun! Mixing <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">cardio</span> dance routines and strength training, using repetitive movements and your own body weight she targets all the right muscles to achieve lean muscle. I am totally obsessed! The best part about her workouts are that you can take them with you on the road, into the gym or in the comfort of your own home (some space required, especially the dance videos)<br /><br />For those of you interested in trying some of the routines before investing in the DVDs this is a great <a href="http://www.lemusingsofmoi.com/2010/06/all-your-free-tracy-anderson-video.html">site </a>with links to some of her routines.

I love how unique the gifts are and how talented the artisans are that set up shop for the holiday season. A few of my favorite vendors at the market I thought I would share with you all as you finish up your holiday shopping.

In keeping with my holiday shopping goal of trying to support local vendors this is a lady you will want to meet. Her handmade custom bows, barrettes, hair accessories and ribbons are super fabulous! And because I love everything girly, having to do with accessories, ribbons and bows I had the hardest time deciding which ones to get for the little girls in my life. There were so many to choose from including a line that she dedicated to True Event with lots of yellow, black and white bows. I have to be honest I almost bought one for myself. In addition to the in stock bows you can also custom order bows to match any outfit!<br /><br />For more information and ordering you can contact Jennifer Raccio, carbeez@aol.com</span>.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632249756727665955.post-58188292588296065162010-12-03T15:40:00.000-08:002010-12-05T04:26:29.642-08:00Friday Wine Tasting...

Apparently after Halloween everything automatically switches to Christmas/Holiday decorating and all the pumpkins become evergreen trees and wreaths. So I had to get creative and use acorn squash (side note last night I discovered Whole Foods had the baby pumpkins I was looking for of course after the fact). Anyways I bought metallic gold spray paint and set up a station in the garage and sprayed the squash and a bunch of dried hydrangea I had from the summer, and sprinkled the hydrangea with loose gold glitter. I couldn't believe how well the gold covered the squash, only needing one coat they were instantly transformed, and the glitter on the hydrangea reflected subtly under the light. <br /><br />It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is over and we have already decorated for Christmas at our house, but what I loved about this table is that the gold spray paint can be used for other centerpieces, (i.e. sprayed chestnuts, pomegranates, Boxwood, poinsettias etc.)</span> <span style="font-size:85%;">Happy Holidays!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;">Table Components:<br />Natural Burlap Runner, <a href="http://www.joann.com/joann/home/home.jsp?topnavlink=true">Jo Anne Fabrics </a><br />Tan Linen Hemstitch Linen, <a href="http://www.target.com/">Target</a></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">14 Karat Gold Spray Paint, <a href="http://www.joann.com/joann/home/home.jsp?topnavlink=true">Jo Anne Fabrics</a></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Gold Glitter, Martha Stewart Collection,<a href="http://www.michaels.com/Martha-Stewart-Crafts%C2%AE-Fine-Glitter/pc0898,default,pd.html?cgid=products-scrapbooking-marthastewartcrafts&start=2"> Michael's </a></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632249756727665955.post-3100830812282993312010-11-25T03:00:00.000-08:002010-11-25T08:29:19.728-08:00Happy Thanksgiving!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZnM2_5WQ8SJ-Q9JzNYj0KMd25XZY6zhfdqeXUASd75nYPm2wAREjzL5Uw0jDrFlaTOUPIz-W9bL77f5eGa9_pR21tIwYdKFtz_LNqTEcbwgqmMnf5BIxJdzt-jEvuHEF-6XBVUP2AKjk/s1600/3423-1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

I love the idea of mixing different textures, colors and natural elements. <br /><br />This year, being obsessed with all things metallic and glitter I was inspired by a <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/thanksgiving-table-settings#slide_14"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">tablescape</span></a> I found on Martha Stewart and this incredible collection of <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/winter-centerpieces?lnc=6f79cf380e1dd010VgnVCM1000005b09a00aRCRD&rsc=lpg_entertaining&lpgStart=1&currentslide=18&currentChapter=4">candles</a>. I would love to know what you are doing for your Thanksgiving table design, and what you have been inspired by. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thanksgiving Table Inspiration</span><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLQ4pyMH2FQZ_iH6kUVIX81emWlKveEXn5WNaG5z1hinDrkJsTEJ03OFM6uwwKC3LNNabFcFwm3DvcDX-xO4_YKsUGcCnFBTiiFa9vXpqEhH4g2pjAHwKl56g-Ijyf1SFSz-GiSXvWLIuL/s1600/goldpumpkin.jpeg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLQ4pyMH2FQZ_iH6kUVIX81emWlKveEXn5WNaG5z1hinDrkJsTEJ03OFM6uwwKC3LNNabFcFwm3DvcDX-xO4_YKsUGcCnFBTiiFa9vXpqEhH4g2pjAHwKl56g-Ijyf1SFSz-GiSXvWLIuL/s400/goldpumpkin.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542731589133737090" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >via <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/thanksgiving-table-settings#slide_14">Martha Stewart</a><br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPuCpUELw4yiDhR6oQCYZMmEDVInakijqbrtRyH3E5K_ntnweq8Oe89TRMQCkj0MYK96ScUhT08439oAL42NLp9CT47BY6kzQz0KoQXQvgwx8cVMyiMkkNtUjDRiONayYfWLOqGo31gRoK/s1600/glittercandles.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPuCpUELw4yiDhR6oQCYZMmEDVInakijqbrtRyH3E5K_ntnweq8Oe89TRMQCkj0MYK96ScUhT08439oAL42NLp9CT47BY6kzQz0KoQXQvgwx8cVMyiMkkNtUjDRiONayYfWLOqGo31gRoK/s400/glittercandles.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542733280070506562" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >via <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/winter-centerpieces?lnc=6f79cf380e1dd010VgnVCM1000005b09a00aRCRD&rsc=lpg_entertaining&lpgStart=1&currentslide=18&currentChapter=4">Martha Stewart</a></span><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632249756727665955.post-14090531887614928442010-11-22T04:00:00.000-08:002010-11-22T05:10:07.602-08:00Monday Typefaces...Gobble Gobble....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSH036ibv9BMQygbzcxVCTTO_ZOYN1KO7HeCOE7pviQH-thNDR0h-5DzK-7SjMJCIiUZwEcZ83y6H7DDNURT2SJng7U1xshyIPtWbt2KAL3cQ2DmstdH610AjUEYjgugdVefdqR7WjHUQ/s1600/post_559608_1257333430_med.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 385px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSH036ibv9BMQygbzcxVCTTO_ZOYN1KO7HeCOE7pviQH-thNDR0h-5DzK-7SjMJCIiUZwEcZ83y6H7DDNURT2SJng7U1xshyIPtWbt2KAL3cQ2DmstdH610AjUEYjgugdVefdqR7WjHUQ/s400/post_559608_1257333430_med.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533881448887857682" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Image found via </span><a href="http://community.parents.com/content/crafty_mom_advice/journal/8320815/Adorable-Alphabet-Turkey"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">parents community</span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">LSW</span></div>wessonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10178943555963831412noreply@blogger.com0
