Girls’ Night In

It’s Friday, and your group chat is going off. To stay in or to hit the town? Grab a bottle of gold-medal prosecco. This Bellini Blush recipe, courtesy of our friends at WSJwine from The Wall Street Journal, will have you craving a chill (pun intended) night in with your friends.

Bellini Blush

Yields one drink.

Ingredients

1 oz. pomegranate juice
1 oz. crème de cassis
1 oz. vodka
Top it off with Ca’ Bolani Prosecco Edizione Limitata

In addition to wine cocktails, a proper girls’ night in calls for the coziest attire. We’re talking leggings, an oversized cardigan, and slip-on-and-go slides. Oh, and try the no-makeup look – there’s a good chance a moisturizing face mask is in your future.

Romantic Rendezvous

Dates (especially the first!) can be stressful. What to order, what to sip, and what to wear may have your mind racing. Let’s start with the outfit: Opt for something red, a universally flattering and oh-so-romantic hue. Sip on Hervé Fabre 94-point Malbec, a great match for steak. And its smooth, chocolaty finish means it’s time to get the vino – and lava cake – flowing.

Pleasure Doing Business

A good business dinner includes three things: a professional look, a pitch they can’t resist, and one impressive bottle of vino. The award-winning 97-point Altos de la Guardia Rioja will easily win over clients. For your outfit, go with something slightly dressier than your 9-to-5 (ahem, that pleated midi you’ve been dying to wear). Then style it with a flouncy silk blouse and pointed-toe pumps. You’ve got this.
