3 Ladies on a Vine

With the Presidential election right around the corner, we know you are so over all the political commercials, news stories, and all the drama that comes along with a election. We know we are! Yes, the selection of our nations President is very serious business, and no matter who you are voting for, it's important to go cast your vote! But 3 Ladies on a Vine thought of a twist to make Election Day more enjoyable. After you and your friends make the hard decision of choosing a President, a governor, and voting on state wide policies, it's time to unwind! Ask each of your friends to either bring a red wine or a white wine. You will provide the wine glasses and the basket, so your guests can cast their vote for their favorite wine. You can also add some election themed decorations. We found these cool napkins at Total Wine that say vote wine and had the Democrat & Republican symbols on them. Since Election Day is on a Tuesday, no one expects you to make a full sp...

Recently, we got invited by a musician to hear him play at a Tapas Bar, called Bella Vino Wine Bar and Tapas . All we had to hear was wine and food and we were there. The restaurant was located in the historic downtown district of St. Charles, MO. The downtown is quaint with cobblestone streets and historic buildings. The vibe is very inviting. What are Tapas? They are a wide variety of small plate, savory dishes in Spanish cuisine. Similar to appetizers or hors d'oeuvres. The tapas can be cold (such as cheese and crackers) or hot (such as pasta). Bella Vino was so warm and intimate. We felt like we were walking into someone's home. We couldn't wait to have some wine and reconnect. There were numerous selections to choose from, it's a good thing we had a knowledgable waitress. We decided to start with the waitress recommendation, their speciality made Sangria. It was delicious! "Cheers" We also ordered a salad, meatballs, and a mouthwatering skillet ma...
