You are trying to get into wine but need a bridge? We got you! Red wine and...

Ok, so you are a super cocktail kind of girl, guy or the many different iterations of gender we have come to learn and love. Yes, acceptance is important at all stages of life. We have no clue (unless it is a bff and you share dynamite biodynamic wines by the fireplace all winter and...even summer just to reminisce about the winter).

But you hearing about wine but you are also slow to change.

If it is broke, don't fix it? 

Perhaps, you had a bad experience with wine? 

Perhaps, you are carbonated kind of person so mixed drinks are your thing. 

But there are some dangers with carbonation? 

Like what, you ask? 

While plain carbonated water is a better choice than sugary beverages like soda, juice, or sweet tea, a 2017 stuy evealed that plain carbonated water increased a hunger hormone called GHERLIN in men. Even the beloved LACROIX ay not be so perfect.

But why? 

Essentially, when your ghrelin levels are high, you’ll feel hungrier and are likely to eat more, which can lead to weight gain. 

More research is always required.

But wait? 

It’s also important to note that not all carbonated water is created equal. While carbonated water is just water plus air, some bottled seltzers and flavor enhancers contain sodium, natural and artificial acids, flavors, sweeteners, and other additives.

YES RETAINING WATER 

So dreaded, right? 

Read carefully.

Perfect segue - self-servingly so! 

But first - to your "current tastes"!  

But if you are as stubborn as a barn door, start with a little mix of wine with one of your favorite tonics. A little dilute to see if you can pick up the aromas. Then dilute less. 

But why? 

Well, it NOT "hard bar son" or "daughter". But the phrase rings a little "truer" to the current state of vernacular. 

So, less "spatula" and more natural! 

So maybe start small and drinking should always be that way! 

Copying the code and voila and with a little natural "a la mode", we got some French wines coming your way. Yes, the "loyal fanbase" (we call them extended fam) is loving the notion of natural wines. No bubbles unless you are popping off like our beloved Raptors will be doing during and after the bubble. 

Sometimes being a dinosaur is a good thing because wine was around when Jesus was bring the gospel. And no weeping here so you heard it here first! 

Thanks for giving an ear and an eye to those things that make us laugh and not cry!
