Today is Wine Wednesday! Hooray!! I love wine and can talk about it (and drink about it) for hours. So on this fine Wine Wednesday I will be supplying you with wine and food pairings cheat sheets, the proper glasses for serving different types of wine, and a little wine-o humor. Stay tuned, because every Wednesday I will be updating you with posts dedicated to wine and the love I have for it.

And For the Love of Wine
My Wine Accessory Suggestions
1. Forget about broken corks and bottles! I have this electric wine opener and it has changed my life! This is one kitchen appliance I didn't mind buying ;)
2. Spice up your boring wine glasses and have some fun!
3. You give your beer a coozie, so give your wine a woozie! These woozies help keep your wine colder longer. I keep a stash of these handy for outdoor patio parties and another stash in my beach bag.
