LET'S HEAR IT FOR ANOTHER HAPPY HOLIDAY HUSSY!
Wicked Wench Wine Wishes from Both of Us!
WENCH WINE WENCHES HAVE SUPER-SIZED EGOS !
Beware of a chronologically-gifted hirusitic male who offers to interpret your dreams (for only $49.95 plus GST) or majestic-looking merlot sipper named Prince Charming who's on the lookout for the owner of a glass slipper. If truth be told, there both trifling tipplers...ignore them and take a long sip of that sparkling SuperEgo honey!
WINE WOMEN & SONG
"In the order named, these are the hardest to control: Wine, Women, and Song." -- Franklin P. Adams, "The Ancient Three" in the Dictionary of Quotations, Bergen Evans, 1968.

WICKED WENCH WINE CLUB - INTRODUCTION
Perhaps it was the succesful launch of a friendly fermented fruit festival, appropriately named "Feast of Fools" here in the capital of nuts, flakes and fruitcakes (Victoria, British Columbia, Canada), that prompted the idea of forming a women only wine club.
Whatever the case may be, it's just a unique way for Goddesses of Grapes, Giggles, & Great Gatherings to get together once a month and learn more about wine, share some stories, and let our Inner Imps out to play in the company of like-minded ladies who wish to enjoy a light snack or two and a little libation."
MIDDLE-AGED MERLOT MAVENS UNITE...YOU HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN BUT A FEW LOVE-HANDLES!
NEXT WICKED WENCH WINE TASTING EVENT:
Keep your eyes peeled...well maybe your grapes too -- for the next event in September!
WITTY WOMEN ON WINE
If wine is evil, then why did Jesus turn wine into water?" -- Mae West

GIGGLE FROM THE GRAVEVINE
"Only good girls keep diaries. Bad girls don't have time!" -- Tallulah Bankhead (1902-1968), American actressWHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER:
And, if that's not enough, we'll throw in a few invitations to some exclusive wine-tasting events...and an opportunity to hob nob with the who's who of wherever. (And for Glamour Pusses who smoke, ...cigarettes are only permitted outside on the sundeck or sidewalk if you please).
A TOAST TO WOMEN
She is an inspiration.She is dignity.
She is courage.
She is strength.
She can teach by her wisdom
And lead by her grace.
She is a warrior.
She is a goddess.
She is everything in between.
She is laughter.
She is vibrant.
She always radiates life.
She is real.
She is tenderness.
She is hope.
She is a wife, a mother,a grandmother, a daughter,an aunt, a sister, a best friend.
She is beautiful.
She is amazing.
She is you.
AND NOW A WORD FROM A VINTAGE VIXEN:
"Wine improves with age. The older I get, the better I like it!"
THE DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES...
MORE ABOUT THE ROSES...
"I had a rose named after me, and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalog: 'No good in a bed, but fine against a wall.'" -- Eleanor Roosevelt
EVERY WICKED WENCH KNOWS THAT...
"Life is too short to drink bad wine!"

WHERE THERE'S A WILL,THERE'S A WAY...AND I'LL HAVE IT WITH WINE!
it should be presumed that I won't ever get better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my appointed person and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes and call it a day.
A LADY WHO KNOWS HER LIBATIONS:
"Health is what my friends are always drinking to before they fall down."
-- Phyllis Diller
GRAB THESE GRAPES!
Natalie King, Director Food & Beverage at The Sidney Pier Hotel and Span suggests a great glass of grapes for our gals!Foxtrot Pinot Noir 2005
With a name like "Foxtrot", this one is perhaps best sampled with a partner on the dance floor, unless of course you ask him to peel you a grape or two elsewhere.
Natalie says that this BC Pinot Noir "is a deeply coloured win with an intense nose of cherry and spice", and only the nose knows, right?
But if those words don't convince you, perhaps the fact that it is "so silky smooth in the mouth, with satisfying and rich berry flavours and an oaky spiciness" will encourage you to hot foot it down to your favorite fine restaurant in B.C. (the only place you'll find it these days)!
