Counting Calories South Florida’s top sommelier has joined forces with its top winemaker to give wine lovers an amazing gift: fewer calories. Virginia Philip, master sommelier for The Breakers, and Gudrun Cuillo, proprietor of the Livernano and Casalvento estates in Tuscany, recently launched 90C, a wine that delivers—you guessed it—only 90 calories per glass. The duo accomplishes this without adding water or chemically engineering the wine, but by simply picking the grapes several weeks earlier to achieve an alcohol level of 11 percent. “This is the way wine was made for hundreds of years,” says Cuillo. “They are made for drinking, not for aging, and fit in perfectly with the healthier lifestyle people are living now.” “We tried the other low-calorie wines on the market, and the quality was disappointing,” says Philip. “Our customers know where the grapes come from, and they can be confident that the wine is made with no additives.” The brand is available in rosé, chardonnay, and red. It can be purchased locally at Virginia Philip Wine Shop and Academy in West Palm Beach and is also available by the glass at many area eateries, including PB Catch and Pistache French Bistro.
