{sponsored} ‘Tis the Season to Unleash Your Inner Vixen!

Posted by Mel on Nov 21, 2011 in Say hello to my Little Friends | 0 comments

We can no longer fight it — winter and its corresponding stream of holidays are upon us. To warm up (both my body temperature and my soul), I typically turn to drinking wines this time of year. There’s something especially cozy about having a red wine when hanging out in front of a fireplace. Having a partner certainly makes the cold nights a little more intimate… and the holidays a bit more tolerable

Since I’m a fun girl, I like to bring a fun bottle of wine to my events. And a bottle by the name of Vixen — not to mention one from a place called Naked Winery — makes for an ideal (and easy) hostess gift during these seasonal get-togethers: girls night, office holiday dinners, white elephant parties — or a thoughtful gift for the single person in your life. They need all the love and alcohol in the world this time of year. I’ve been there; I know.

Vixen is a “foxy wine… coy at first, then comes on strong with elements of blackberry and some cherry.” Characterized by a very dark color, Vixen is a big Syrah, with sensual aromas, and subtle tannins that bite with a smoky earthiness and hold on with a medium-long finish of toast and coffee bean. Rawr! I like a wine (and winery) with attitude.

Perhaps, you’ll grab another bottle to save for after you’ve both settled back at home after a long day of traveling. Oh, the mileage! The snowstorms! Share a bottle of Vixen Syrah (be sure to bring your inner vixen) with that new beau to make the first of (hopefully many) New Year resolutions together.

And you know I can’t have wine without a cheese plate! Naked Winery suggests a reserve white cheddar or parmigiano reggiano with slices of Italian salami to pair nicely with its Vixen Syrah.

Special Discount
