Greetings!
Hello to one and all, and Happy Summer!!!
First of all, I sincerely want to thank each and every one of you who came out last month to celebrate my "Grand Re-opening"!!! My husband was even in on it, and helped serve frozen "Wine-A-Ritas" to all the gals (tough job, huh?!) I had tons of samples/gourmet goodies and even handed out fun little "Swag Bags". Trendz was also celebrating birthday #2 that night, and I had just celebrated birthday #50 (Woo-hoo!! Go AARP!!!) three days earlier... so it was quite the party!!!
For those of you who are here in Kansas City, you simply MUST stop by Trendz and see all of the new things that I have gotten in!!! Since I mentioned the beloved, and ever-popular, "Wine-A-Ritas"... let me just tell you that there is now a NEW "sister" in the bunch - "Berry Pom-A-Rita"!!! OK - Yum! There are also tons of new items in wine accessories, candles, Cravings cheeseballs, cupcake/party goodies and fun summer stuff. I will try to get some pics on Facebook of some of the new "stuff", so click on here and then click the "like"button. I will keep you updated on "what's shakin' bacon"!!

Burger and Wine Pairings
(Who knew...?) | |
The type of meat determines the best wine match (unless the burger is smothered in strong-flavored condiments).
Beef Burgers
Classic Red - Rich, peppery Zinfandel
Unexpected Red - Powerful Sicilian Nero d'Avola
Great White - Rich, luscious Chardonnay
Turkey Burgers
Classic Red - Fragrant, fruity Pinot Noir
Unexpected Red - Vibrant, berry-scented rosé
Great White - Fruity, peach-inflected Pinot Gris
And speaking of those condiments-
If you're using...
- A Specialty Cheese: Pair the wine to whichever cheese you use on top of the burger. For blue cheese, try a Zinfandel or Cabernet Sauvignon.
- Lots of Ketchup: Try fruity or sweet wines, such as a rose.
- Lots of Pickles or Coleslaw: A dry red wine, like a Syrah, is a good choice.

| Pineapple Face Scrub |  2/3 c. fresh pineapple chunks (room temp)
1/4 c. cold-pressed olive oil
1/4 c. fresh, clean parsley, chopped
Pulse pineapple in a blender, then add oil until almost smooth. Add parsley and blend carefully so mask doesn't liquefy. Apply to skin and leave on for 15 minutes.
Save a piece of pineapple- and while you're waiting, sip on this... |
|
Bikini Blueberry | |
1-1/4 oz pineapple vodka
3 oz. Ocean Spray Diet Blueberry
1-1/2 oz. Club Soda (optional)
Fresh pineapple garnish
Build on the rocks in a stemless wine goblet or highball glass. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon if desired. Garnish with pineapple. Nice fruity delicious flavor. For deep, richer flavor - skip the club soda.
