new type “ofthe woman who
should rule the world.
”
Suit-up for Cool Climate Wonder Woman’s Amazon training makes her as beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, as swift as Hermes and as strong as Hercules. Use your wine knowledge and accessories as skills and resources. It’s no secret that wine is fashionable, so put your Wine Woman suit on and tackle your wine journey head on. Get to know the cool climate wines that Niagara and Ontario do best, like Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Merlot, and Pinot Noir (there are more too!) and start sipping! The world, or should I say the world of local wine, is waiting for you.
Celebrate Your Conquests with VQA There is a Latin phrase worth knowing, which means “In wine there is truth.” If Wonder Woman drank, I can guarantee wine would be her beverage of choice. Wine is the drink of the Gods – and since she is the daughter of Zeus and Hippolyta, maybe that makes her a wine princess. She would definitely have enjoyed a glass of VQA Sparkling wine to celebrate her conquests and relax after a long day. Or perhaps, she would have savoured an Ontario Icewine martini with friends and discovered new VQA bottles each week to build her wine confidence.
Become a Wine Woman Just like fashion, wine is about accessorizing and details. Knowing how to properly use a corkscrew, serve into great glassware, decant and swirl are fundamentals. Get to know your favourite wine varieties from Niagara and begin collecting glassware for each one. When you’re hosting, the attention to detail won’t go un-noticed and will impress your guests. Wonder Woman had her accessories and they were her tools to success, so create your wine tool belt and become the Wine Woman you were meant to be! Ever heard of “#winewednesday? It’s the day of the week when a glass of wine celebrates the completion of the beginning of the week, and keeps you motivated for the days leading up to the weekend. Local wine is the perfect choice. There is an ideal bottle for every mood, every dish, every personality and every woman. Inside of you there is a Wine Woman waiting to be released, all it takes is unleashing your passion, intrigue, adventure and style. Remember to use your the #VQA hashtag to show your love for Ontario grapes and local #wine!
