Just Chillin'


Update: Lena of A Crimson Kiss is the winner!

I have a fun product to tell you about. It's called the Corkcicle, and it's a sleek and simple way to keep your bottle of wine at just the right temperature. Wouldn't it make a great hostess gift? It was one of Oprah's favorite things last year, so you know it's good. And in keeping with Oprah, one of you gets a Corkcicle of your very own! (I do really wish I could say "You get a Corkcicle" and "You get a Corkcicle!") Just leave a comment below before noon on Friday, February 22nd, telling me your favorite way to relax or what your favorite wine is. One winner will be selected at random. Good luck!

    I'm a pinot noir kinda girl, but this would be perfect in a bottle of riesling during summer!

    Count me in on the Corkcicle, Oprah always finds the coolest stuff! Favorite wine at the moment- Weingut Anselmann Dornfelder (German red). Favorite way to relax- cooking a nice dinner while listening to music (and drinking wine, lol).

    my favorite wine is cupcake's red velvet- yum! and my favorite way to relax is curling up with a good book or magazine and a cup of coffee. :)

    I've seen this before and think it's brilliant! I could really use one :) My favorite wine is Lambrusco. It's bubbly (and comes in red, white, and rose) but is a little more complex than champagne or prosecco. There's just something special about bubbles, right?

    How genius! Since SF is always fairly warm, we usually have a bottle of rosé in the fridge–sipping it while I cook dinner always makes the day melt away!

    I've been wanting to try one of these! My favorite way to relax is with Australian sauvignon blanc on the patio in summertime.

    My favorite way to relax is with a glass of wine and a good book in a hot bath.

    I'm a sucker for a not-too-sweet riesling!

    What a fabulous product! My favorite wine is a Rose from King Family Vineyard in Crozet, VA. It was about a mile from our house when Mitch was in law school, so we went a lot. It is one of my happy places!

    oh no! I think I'm too late! Either way - my favorite wine is Riesling :) And I also just got a bottle of chocolate wine for Valentine's Day that I can't wait to try!

    I had a really great apple wine at the Village Winery in Waterford, VA. Now that I live on the other coast, I've just discovered a Pinot Grigio by Barefoot that I highly recommend!

    I love any sort of full deep Malbec--preferably over a winter's dinner with friends.
