Morocaan Wine. Morocaan SIP.WATCH.TWEET™. Moroccan Madness with RHONY

For the first Installment of the Ladies in Morocco We're Sipping Moroccan Wine
DOMAINE RIAD '06 JAMIL Carignan Red
SIP.WATCH.TWEET™.

Will we solve the mystery of the the hanger crook? Hanger Drama Preview
Will the Housewives survive Morocco? Preview of Moroccan Trilogy
Will LuAnn continue to be the "Thug in a Cocktail Dress"?

Because of The Bachelor/Bachelorette host Chris Hardwick's constant erroneous claim of "The MOST dramatic Rose Ceremony EVER!" I am jaded. So when I see/hear Bravo TV promos the Moroccan Trilogy is something "We. Can't. Miss." I'm skeptical. Although, the previews do indeed look very dramatic and intriguing. We have three hours and three weeks ahead of us, but now, BEFORE Morocco here's my current list of the NY Housewives from my MOST favorite to my LEAST favorite:

DOMAINE RIAD '06 JAMIL Carignan Red

Deep ruby garnet in color, the aroma of this 100% Carignan varietal has exotic spices like cardamom and tamarind. The mouth feel is silky, smooth, soft and round. Medium bodied the taste has subtle notes of mangosteen, dried cherry and jakfruit. The finish is slightly lingering with whispers of cinnamon.

SIP. WATCH. TWEET™ Real Housewives of of New York City "Making amends...OR NOT!"


SIP Zonin Prosecco.WATCH the Housewives on Bravo. TWEET your thoughts. 
"Making amends...or not."


Jill brings gifts for Alex's "chums" [as her and Simon call their children, Johan and Francois] and begs for Alex's forgiveness. Before they even sit down for lunch to have a "sit-down" Jill promptly opens mouth and inserts foot attempting to compliment Alex. While lunching, Jill states she wants to bury the hatchet but Alex is more than sceptical. She questions Jill's motives and sincerity...realistic, pessimistic or paranoid? My money is on the former not the latter. Time will tell....



Francesco Zonin
Our pick for this week's RHONY SIPWATCHTWEET™ is ZONIN PROSECCO

Zonin Prosecco is effervescent with hues of wheat and lemon chiffon. Slightly sparkling with a wonderful floral bouquet of carnations and iris on the nose. The taste is light and refreshing with crisp notes of mandarin and Sicilian lemon. A body that is a little deeper than light bodied and a has a pleasant finish of roasted almond.

Zonin Prosecco is a lot less expensive than champagne but no less celebratory or enjoyable. To order Zonin click this link: Zonin Prosecco.
