"WHERE's MY PINOT?!" "I want wine and I only drink MY Pinot." -Ramona Singer

"I have a bottle in my purse. I dare not leave home with out it."-Alex McCord

Side Note: I am loving this "new" Alex, she's bold, brazen and that comment about Ramona's Pinot Grigio was wry and snarky. Loved it!

Poor Cindy, she is trying to entertain 30+ guests and be an amazing host to everyone at her party and Ramona really, REALLY wants her Pinot. NOW! Well before the party, LuAnn and Sonja fired at Cindy, "Where's my invitation?" "I didn't get an invitation." "Our assistants would have passed on an invitation." "Is this an adult party? A kid's party?" "Horseback riding!?" "Birthday, no birthday?" ...I cannot wait to SIP Passaggio Rose. WATCH this episode. And TWEET the best quotes.

Passaggio Grande Cappello Rose

This picture doesn't do this Rose justice. The color is absolutely amazing, a vibrant, translucent mix of Venetian red, Indian red and raspberry. With its loganberry, cherry and tea rose blend on the nose, it prepares you for the fantastical voyage your mouth is about to on. It is medium bodied, full in your mouth and has crisp, rich flavors of blackberry, black currant, fig and red plum. The finish is long with hints of star anise and clementine acidity on the back end.

This is a limited release so I urge you to trust me and purchase this Rose NOW. To purchase click on this link: PASSAGGIO WINES

SIP. WATCH. TWEET™ RHONY this week with Ramona Singer's Pinot Grigio

It's Turtle Time!

Wine Tasting With The Wives...

Click Here to preview RHONY "Wine Connection"

This week's episode is full of classic lines. The ladies attend a wine tasting/speed dating and Kelly is obviously not a wine connoisseur. Here's part of a conversation Kelly had with a gentleman at the event: Kelly: "Why do they move it around like that?" [meaning the swirling of the wine] Gentleman: "To release the smell." Kelly: I have to SMELL my wine?" *sniffs glass of wine* Kelly: "It smells like wine."...um ok.

Meanwhile new "Housewife" Cindy Barshop has my favorite line of this preview, "I've been out of the dating scene 8 months and this is what's left?!" Love IT...Because it's sadly true!

We are sipping: Ramona Singer '10 Pinot Grigio delle Venezie

I was very skeptical of a wine from a "reality star", even one who is a successful businesswoman as Ramona is. After oenophile, Vee Fitzgerald's [CEO of 386 Vanduzer Wine Corp] gave her glowing recommendations I decided to try it. Vee was right, this is an exceptional Pinot Grigio. Made from 100% Pinot Grigio grapes from the Veneto region of Italy and is distributed by Opici Wines. The color is an almost translucent honeydew/ice yellow chiffon blend. On the nose you can smell lots of citrus like, blood orange, kumquat and key lime. The taste has similar citrus notes, like pummelo and lemon but with a mineral stone feel, taste and finish.

Well Ramona, it looks like you figured out how to find your favorite Pinot Grigio-you made it!

SIP. WATCH. TWEET™ Real Housewives of NYC "March Madness"

Click HERE to watch a little "MARCH Madness"

Carpineto '09 Rosato

I have a feeling we are getting very close to "Thug in a Cocktail Dress" time! Such a wonderful cause the ladies are marching for, "Marriage Equality". The right that everyone, gay or straight has the right to marry their soul mate, beshert, lover and best friend...But...Getting ready for the march things seem to revolve more around Sonja being the Grand Marshall than the actual cause. Or at least that's what Alex thinks. So my money is on us hearing this [already] social media cult classic line of Alex's "She's a thug in a cocktail dress."



We have chosen the lovely spring Rose, Carpineto Rosato for this episode of RHONY. It has a beautiful bouquet blend of tea roses and iris on the nose with a fruity backdrop of cherries on the nose. The taste is crisp and refreshing with strawberry, raspberry and red apple notes. It finishes clean with just a bit of granny-smith-apple-like tartness.

Real Housewives of NYC SIP.WATCH.TWEET.™  and we are sipping Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin



New Wife in the City

Thug in a Cocktail Dress

CLICK ON: To Return To The Big Apple*Season Sneak Peek*





"She is a thug in a cocktail dress." "...You came in here with your Herman Munster shoes..." "She insulted  a whole country in 5 seconds." "Go back to the cabinet you climbed out of." "You are a snake to her." "She found her voice and now she needs to zip it." -Just a few of the venomous statements the Real Housewives have uttered to each other this season!

They are back! Back with a vengence! With quotes like these, how can anyone NOT watch each and every episode! They are back and from what I've seen thus far, it is going to be worth the wait! LuAnn dating, Alex modeling, Ramona wine making, Jill yenta-ing, Kelly, loopy as ever and brand new addition- Cindy Barshop. Buckle your seat belts guys and dolls, the ladies even go to Morocco together this season! Let the foreign shenanigans begin!

Our pick for this episode of RHONY's  SIP.WATCH.TWEET.™ is Veuve Cliquot Ponsardin. Veuve is amazing on it's own and other than an occasional kir royale I never add anything to it. However, I think this episode needs not just the crisp, fruit and floral notes of Veuve but just a drop of my newest find, Cotton Candy Liqueur [a french vodka based liqueur]. Literally, just a drop is needed to a chilled flute or champagne glass filled with Veuve. Just sweet enough where quite possibly, should the ladies of RHONYC sip it together, they may just all get along...
