Surfing Twitter last night, this message caught our eye: “For everyone who swore off drinking for January or any length of time…forget about it. #winedoesntmakeufat.” We had to retweet it, as within our Top 10 list of questions we are always asked, the wine and weight question probably ranks about a 5 (right after “Are you...
Happy New Year! The biggest party night of the year is upon us and we here at The Wine Sisters wish you the very best that 2013 can offer. We have a lot planned for the next year and we can’t wait to share it with you as the months unfold – but first, we...
We love sparkling wine; Champagne, prosecco, cava, cremant … you name it, we drink it. So we view this time of year with a tinge of bitter-sweet feelings.

That’s why we called on our dear friend Meghan Pearson, raw chef and owner of MAP Wellness to offer a deliciously filling recipe that’s surprisingly healthy. You...
Psssst … hey! You still here? Ya, us too. (Blink, Blink) Guess the world didn’t end after all, eh? Hmm. (Relieved & slightly delirious laughter). We’re alive! Ha! Suck it, Myans! Joke’s on you! Booyah! It’s time’s like these – you know, the times that we narrowly escape near certain death – that we feel like living...
It’s time to eat, drink and be merry! But nothing kills a buzz faster than serving wine in mucky glasses. Here, we show you how to polish your glassware so you can dazzle all your guests. Cheers!
Don’t freak out, but Christmas is next week. If you’re hosting the Big Dinner, there’s a good chance you’re sweating right now, but we have a plan that may keep you from totally losing it. There’s a common term in cooking called ‘mis en place,’ which translated from French means ‘everything in its place.’ As...
Someone asked us the other day what wines we plan to serve on Christmas. Honestly, we hadn’t yet had a chance to think about it.
