It's a RHoNY Reunion Blondes v Brunettes SIP. WATCH. TWEET.™

Real Housewives of New York: Blondes v Brunettes Part 1
SIP. WATCH. TWEET.™ with  E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône Rosé
 I have no choice but to assume it was mere coincidence that every brunette "housewife" had a problem with one or all of the blond "housewives". It was a bizarre split from the very first episode and apparently goes all the way through to the Reunion show. It's like Shawn Carter aka Jay-Z said, "my pain, your pleasure.",  no matter if you admit it or not, the more the drama the more you watch.  Click to Preview LuAnn/Ramona Smash Down 

Rumors are out that Bravo will be replacing most if not all of the housewives. If that is in fact, the case, I don't know how I feel about that. Would we get reality television gold like this: Click For Super Size Reunion Preview without Sonja, Alex, Cindy, Kelly, LuAnn and Jill? I don't think so.


Now on to the SIP part of SIP. WATCH. TWEET.™

E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône Rosé

A delightful blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvédre and Syrah this Rose is another delicious summer sipping wine. Gorgeous mix brick red, pink carnation and magenta shines through your chilled glass. Bold red fruits on the nose; red plums,  raspberries and pomegranates. The taste is similar to the nose with very ripe strawberries and tart cranberry undertones. The body is surprisingly almost full-bodied, strange for a Rose. The finish is lighter with a whisper of crisp kumquat citrus.

It's A RHoNY Season Finale Faux Pregnancy Pause SIP.WATCH.TWEET™

It's Faux Pregnancy RHoNY Season Finale SIP.WATCH.TWEET™
We're sipping Ferrari Carano '09 Fume Blanc

I'm very disappointed in Bravo for the "cliff hanger" previews of tonight's Season Finale. We deserve better than Ramona's "pregnancy scare". Ramona is 50+ years old and we have seen Ramona out and about since the filming of this show and she is visibly NOT pregnant. She goes to Sonja's and when she refuses to have Pinot Grigio to which Sonja says "this is serious..." Yes, for Ramona to turn down Pinot, something is very wrong. I don't know if this happened on the show organically or if it was production at Bravo who pushed for this. If it happened organically, Ramona's old enough to know, at her age [and even as young as 35] big boobs and sensitive nipples can be signs of perimenopause and/or menopause. Menopause and perimenopause would also cause you to skip months of your period or your period to be "late". Quite honestly I'm not buying that she thought she was pregnant in the first place.

The other ridiculous thing is Natalie Cole loving LuAnn's "Money Can't Buy You Class" and will sing at LuAnn and Jaques' anniversary party. Her singing is conditional-LuAnn simply MUST sing with her. Oy Vey! Apparently it was a very slow year for Ms. Cole... Click to Preview Natalie Cole and LuAnn





Now it's the SIP...
Ferrari Carano '09 Fume Blanc

This Fume Blanc has a spring/summer-like color blend of lemon yellow and goldenrod hues in your glass. The nose is fruity with notes of key lime, kiwi, honeydew melon and mandarin peel all with a back drop canvas of freshly cut grass. The flavors are intensely delightful bringing citrus notes of pummelo, tangelo and clementine to your palate.  Layers of citrus are complemented by subtle flavors of lychee and mango. Because Ferrai Carano presses the Sauvignon Blanc grapes into stainless steel tanks it gives this Fume Blanc a clean, brightly crisp mouthfeel. You can tell it has some aging in oak because of the depth of the layers it gives you upon your second and third sip. Refreshingly light-medium bodied the finish is short yet extremely smooth and leaves you with the lingering taste Sicilian lemon.

Is SHE Serious? ...Isn't SHE Hot?! RHoNY SIP.WATCH.TWEET.™

It's The Real Housewives of New York SIP.WATCH.TWEET.™
We're Sipping Etude Rose of Pinot Noir Carneros

Once again, a "musical debut" of LuAnn's...Listening to it I have to ask myself the same thing I asked when she dropped her first single. IS SHE SERIOUS?! I mean, seriously. "Money can't buy you class" but it obviously can buy you two singles that are at best, entertainingly funny. Click Here to Watch Her "Video" You be the judge and let me know if she's in on the joke or is the joke on her? Before shooting her video she brought Jill with her to listen to her latest "song". Jill being...well, Jill of course had to put her nose where it doesn't belong. Jill tells Chris [LuAnn's producer/manager] how she would remix it...

Meanwhile back on the Upper East Side Ramona and Sonja are shopping for Sonja's naughty burlesque themed party. Sonja is absolutely the epitome of 40s being the new 20s because she is as sexy and hot as ever. And Ramona? She's no slouch herself! I refuse to believe she's as old as it's been reported! Peek in the dressing area while Avery looks on and "prohibits" her mother [Ramona] from buying what she deems as "understand" by Clicking Here. Speaking of party...

Here's the SIP for tonight's SIP.WATCH.TWEET.™

Etude Rosé of Pinot Noir
Perfect for summer sipping this Rose shines from within your glass of a spring like coral and salmon pink color hues. The nose is that of strawberries, mulberries and rainier cherries. The summer like fragrance of this Rosé  of Pinot Noir prepares your taste buds for the fruity ride. Bing cherry, rhubarb and Sicilian blood orange. The mouth feel has an oxymoron blend of cranberry-citrus acidity and silky mineral notes. The finish is crisp and powerful with a hint of lingonberry.


Tonight before watching Big Brother, Lets SIP Rose, WATCH Real Housewives of NY and TWEET about it. Use hashtag #RHoNY #SIPWATCHTWEET™
