I believe life is a dance, so dance!

I believe that everyday is a new beginning.

I believe that women look and feel their best when they are dressed with a feminine edge.

I believe that our life experiences make us who we are, but we need to take advantage of those experiences and learn from them and embrace them!



WE BELIEVE...

We believe in wine, several glasses if need be!

We believe in comfort food!

We believe in love and the need for hugs!

We believe in birthdays!

We believe that when we anticipate having a bad time, we end up having the best time of our lives!

We believe that life has enough crosses, so smile more, enjoy life more and be the person people want to have as a friend!  Don't miss out on friendships.

Fine Wine

Are you celebrating the start of the Olympics?  What better way to cheer on our teams than with an amazing glass of wine!

~ This is what we picked out tonight to enjoy with our guests. ~

Drinking wine isn't a race, it's an art.  Listen to that cork pop, enjoy the aroma as you pour the glass, breathe in the warm, full body and appreciate that first sip.  Remember, every sip gets better with an excellent glass of wine!  Take after the French, the lovers of life, and enjoy good food and excellent wine.   There's no need to rush, there's more to a glass of wine than just the flavor!



"Good wine is a good familiar creature if it be well used." ~William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

What's Your Drink of Choice?

Written By: Ooh La La (Danielle Marie)

We all have that "signature" drink.  One that we go to in times of need, in times of sorrow, times of joy or times of relaxation.  The funny thing is that we usually don't change our drink based on our mood.  If you're a champagne person, well, you go for champagne all the time!  Maybe Mimosas in the morning, a French 75 (see recipe below) with lunch and a pink champagne cocktail with dinner.  Whatever your drink, we can guarantee that it has evolved with you overtime, but it is always "your drink". 

Did you ever think that your "preferred" drink might say something about you?  Don't panic here, it isn't a bad thing.  There may just be a common denominator between your temperament and your choice of drink. 

Sauce of Life Tip: Most people are a combination of 2 of the 4 temperaments. 

Which two temperaments do you relate to? 

Choleric: these people are usually drawn to be leaders with ambition, passion and energy.

Melancholic: these are the perfectionists who are typically introverted, but are very thoughtful.

Phlegmatic: these people are content with stability and don't stray far from what's comfortable.

Sanguine: these are the social, fun-loving people who want to enjoy life and rarely lack confidence.

WHAT'S YOUR DRINK OF CHOICE?

Margarita: Sanguine (can't miss out on a party!)

Corona Beer: Melancholic or Phlegmatic (not likely to take a risk)

Champagne: Choleric or Sanguine (Choleric drinks this for position and Sanguine drinks this for pleasure)

Scotch: Choleric (drinks to portray leadership or power at a business dinner)

Red Wine: Choleric or Phlegmatic (Choleric drinks red wine for prestige and Phlegmatic drinks red wine for consistency)

White Wine: Sanguine or Melancholic (Sanguine drinks white wine to taste the sweetness of life and the Melancholic drinks white wine for the taste of perfection)

Martini: All 4 temperaments will drink from the many varities of Martinis, but which temperament will use this as their "go-to" drink?  It's the Sanguine!  That "kick" from a Dirty Martini helps the party get started!

So which temperament will be showing itself tonight?  Can we guess your temperament by your drink?
