Wino Weekend Reading #4
You may have noticed (or not) that I didn’t pop up a Wino Weekend Reading last week. Lazy of me I know! However in December all will soon be revealed as to why I have been so busy this month and not posting as much as I usually am. I can’t wait to share with you all what I have been working on, and I hope you get just as excited as I do about it!!
So anyway more to the here and now. There has been some fab wino news and articles around the web lately so sit back, grab a glass of vino or snuggle up in bed with your iPad and enjoy these fab articles..
The Drinks Business – Top 10 Wine Faux Pas
I thought this was a great post which covers a lot of great misconceptions about wine. I loved the intro that wine is for everyone, don’t be scared about saying what you think of a wine. Who cares if Mr. 100-Point-Parker said it’s rubbish, have your own opinion. And hey if you’ve ever considered mixing red wine and coke, well then you should definitely read this post.
So I have actually tried a couple of these (Sting’s and ACDC’s wines) and they’re not too shabby, would def like to get my hands on a bit of Drew’s and Brad’s vino though! Whose wine would you most like to try from this celebrity wine producer list? Leave a comment below!

News.com.au – Latest trends in wine for the festive season include natural and sustainable wines
I am loving following along the organic, natural and biodynamic wines train as this side of the wine world becomes more and more popular. The cool thing that I like about it is that the wines coming from this sector are getting better and better. I also found the part in the article about the wine app Wineosphere really interesting as I am currently trialling out a few different apps for an upcoming blog post so I may just have to try that one too! You can read the full article here.
To end this week’s I wanted to find a cool infographic to share with you all. I absolutely love Mexican food from nachos to tacos to burritos, you name it – I love it! This Chipotle + Wine Pairing infographic by Bustle is just simply making me hungry, I can’t wait to test out a few of these matches for myself!
