“The Bachelor” is back for yet another season of guilty pleasure. This season, however, strikes my interest as a wine lover as the Bachelor in question is winemaker Ben Flajnik, also known for his memorable turn last season on “The Bachelorette.”

Turkey day is almost here and that means finding the perfect wines to pair with your feast. As your guests arrive it is always nice to have a palate cleanser such as a Champange or Prosecco to get them in the festive mood!

Brazilian wine has long fascinated me since I first heard about their production of top-quality sparklers.

French collector and restauranteur Christian Vanneque has bought the most expensive bottle of white wine in the world, a 200 year-old bottle of Château d’Yquem for £75,000. Sold by the Antique Wine Company this record-breaking sale was made at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Central London.

It is a summer of celebration for “Champagne King” Don Johnson who Page Six recently called “the most popular and prolific big spender on the New York nightclub scene.” Last Monday he bought a 15-liter bottle of Champagne at Avenue for the Women’s Soccer team and followed that with a $50,000 evening of Champagne at SL the next night.

This past week I had the pleasure of attending a luncheon celebrating the Santa Julia line of wines from the familia Zuccardi at Landmarc Time Warner Center in New York City.

Nothing says summer to me like a cold glass of Rosé. As the weather begins to turn and you are finally able to use your patio or enjoy a picnic in the park, a bottle of Rosé is a must. Rosé is a traditionally dry wine (thought it can be vinified sweet) and is made with various types of grape varietals depending on the region in which it is produced. Contrary to some skeptics, it is a world away from its evil twin, White Zinfandel, which it sadly still gets mistaken for. This refreshing summer libation is the choice of the summer jet set worldwide and from the south of France to the Adriatic coast you will see revelers enjoying bottle after bottle of this perfect summer wine!
