Like most women, I love to accessorize! Here are 6 of my favourite wine accessories: 1. Wine Glass Writer Pens I only discovered these recently and I love them! You can doodle all over your wine glass and it simply washes off with a cloth and water. A great way to personalise glasses at a dinner…
10:30am on a Saturday morning and I am sampling some of the new sparkling wine at Sittella Winery in the Swan Valley. Such a hard life! This is what I do to bring the latest wino news to all of you! This past Saturday Sittella held a Sparkling Wine Workshop followed by a 3-course lunch….
