Wine Not

I am red, white or pink all over. I have great body and carry a beautiful bouquet. I can be bubbly and I make the perfect dinner companion. What am I?
Wine, of course. Both agri-product and art form, wine is a complex concoction that deserves a little time and attention before breezing into our dinner parties, girls’ nights and gift bags.

We’re not looking to become vin-experts but we do think it’s a good idea to know what to buy. A little guidance on how much to spend and what wine goes with what food is always good to have in your back pocket.

Karla Watts is a mom, an entrepreneur and purveyor of fine wines. She recently launched Ruby Red Vino, a company dedicated to the art of wine drinking. According to Watts, the best wine is simply wine that you like and the best palate-discerning technique: taste, taste and taste some more (now that’s homework we can live with).
