Wino Wednesday

Kids and Cabernet

Happy Wednesday all!! I’m so excited to be co-hosting the link up today with my two favorite Amanda’s!!! I have to admit I’m not a wine aficionado by any means, but I know what I like and don’t like!! My favorite wine happens to be a Riesling that I’ve shared a few times here on the blog! Their motto is “How America Unwinds” and I have to say I agree!!

So now that we’ve got my favorite wine out of the way, I wanted to share what I think pairs nicely with wine and I’m not talking about a cheese plate!!! It’s everything I want to see on my bar cart along with the wine!! 

What’s on your bar cart?

The first question is how is the wine going to make it from point A to point B and that’s easy, in a super cute tote like this one from Kate Spade!! It can also double as a great hostess gift when you’re headed to someone’s house!! 

I’ve decided I’m a stemless wine glass fan – for some reason I always mess up the stems on my wine glasses so this ensures that nothing gets broken!! I really love the Dot Set from Kate Spade. If you do go the route of having glasses with stems these wine tags are also a fun detail! 

I’m literally obsessed with these wine openers!! Not having to worry about the foil or cork makes entertaining that much easier, and also I’m pretty much the worst at opening wine bottle on my own (unless they are a screw top, which Relax happens to be), but this would make the process so much easier! 

I really like festive coasters, especially when they fit the theme for a party and how perfect is this Snowflake Coaster set of 12?

I’m actually so excited I found this product because a lot of the time I don’t have time to chill my white wine and these Corkciclesdo the work of the freezer while the wine is sitting out waiting to be served!! It comes in a lot of fun colors too!! 

What’s a party without a little game playing? I’ve heard such great things about Cards Against Humanityand I’m sure I will be playing this soon…if not you are more than welcome to come over and we can all play it together!! Even though I said forget the cheese plates, we really can’t because cheese and wine go together like, well wine and cheese!!! I really love the ones that you can write out the what type of cheese it is to the side! 

What’s your favorite wine accessory?

Make sure you stop by Amanda &Amanda‘s blogs to see what their sharing today!! 

xo,

    I love the Relax Riesling and always buy it when I see it! I picked up those dot glasses at HomeGoods yesterday but the one had a chip so I didn't get them but I LOVE them!!

    I have never played cards against humanity isn't that crazy? I really need to get on that! Ohhhh I love those coasters so pretty! I've always wanted to but that corkiscle thing but never thought it would work glad to know that it does!

    Loving the KS wine totes, I'm hoping one is waiting for me under the tree 😉

    I use my corkcicle at every party we have, and it works great keeping the wine chilled. Perfect for this time of year!

    I love the glasses and the coaster. I really like their Riesling. Cards Against Humanity makes any party better. Good picks!

    WINO IN THE HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUSE! I love me some wine, have done many tours so I have some knowledge, but like you I just know what I like, haha. Those coasters and glasses are awesome, so pretty!

    I've never played cards against humanity, either.

    Not a huge wine fan. I prefer craft beers, ciders or fun cocktails instead. But I can appreciate those fun coasters, cheese, cheese boards that you can write on and games!!!

    I had the Relax Riesling this past summer and really enjoyed it. I'm a huge fan of stemless glasses. I like that I can usually balance the glass on the couch next to me haha But actually my dog's tail has taken down way too many wine glasses for me to use anything else. I love that Kate Spade dot set. And Cards Against Humanity is always a good idea…always!

    What a fun post! I'm pretty obsessed with all the dishware from Kate Spade's dot line – it's just so feminine and classic. I'm looking into that Corckcicle now … what an awesome concept, and it would make a great gift!

    Wine and wine accessories are the best hostess/holiday gifts. I LOVE my electric wine opener! It's probably one of the best things I got on my wedding registry (along with our wine fridge). Makes opening wine SO MUCH EASIER!!! 🙂 Love those Kate Spade stemless glasses, too!

    Would you believe me if I told you I've never even tasted wine? It's true! But goodness… I love me some dishware from Kate Spade! I love all things Kate Spade, ha!

    Riesling is usually my go to! And Cards Against Humanity is hilarious – I got it last year for my brother for Christmas and we played it with my family – slightly awkward but so funny!

    Love those dot glasses! In our house, it doesn't matter if they have stems or not… If my hubs empties the dishwasher, at least one wine glass is getting broken! It's out of control.

    The corkcicle is such a cool idea! It definitely sounds like something worth having, or an excellent gift for a white wine loving friend.

    Love this post! I usually opt for the white whine my hubby brings home and sticks on the wine rack. I don't know the name of it, but it has the shadow of a naked lady on it. But, I'll definitely try yours! I love your Kate Spade picks. As a fellow NYer, I'm sort of partial to all things Kate Spade. 🙂

    P.S. I always wanted a bar cart. When I get a house, that's one of the first investments I'll make! Until now, it's my wine rack that sits nestled in the corner of my dining room. haha

    This is sheer perfection! Although I miss wine dearly, I can save these recommendations for future purchase. Also I love those stemless wine glasses, I have 2 of those corkcicles and probably need to invest in one of those openers!

    I am 100% going to have to join this link up some time. We are big wine people. And Cards Against Humanity is the best game I've ever played. Hands down. The Best. I have every single expansion pack they make. And we've played them all.
    We love our corcksicle; it's genius. I totally agree with you on the stemless glasses and I am obsessing over those snowflake coasters.

    These are such great picks. I love stemless glasses too, they're just so much easier to wash and I don't worry as much about them. That tote is great, and you're right, an awesome hostess gift idea. AND I LOVE THE CORKSICKLE!!! That might just be the best thing I've ever seen

    A corksicle! I love that! I like my room a little less than refrigerated and a little cooler than refrigerated. This seems like it would be perfect. I might be a little ghetto because I just carry my wine as is – but it usually makes people really happy to see me. And opening wine is usually a bit of a task. #firstworldproblems

    I love this – the cheese slates are perfection. My boyfriend's mom is in love with wine (which would be an additional reason why I adore her), but she has basically everything wine related – you gave me some great and unique ideas for a holiday gift for her!

    I'm a fan of stemless glasses too. Love the dot ones! I have the dot vase/cake plate/bowl so these would go nicely. And I always make sure to have Relax Riesling on hand when my mom is around- she loves it. 🙂

    I'm a Riesling girl too! I am also a HUGE fan of the automatic wine openers. They don't mess up the corks and are simple and quick. I mean can it get any better? I love all of your wine accessories!
