Here at Fromgirltogirl.com, we are planning summer parties and ready to sip the best drinks in town and where we may be in the USA or where we are welcome on the global stage. Wine experts around the world have been chatting about a super wealthy man sipping on a reported $4,285 tab for the bottle of Dugat-Py Grand Cru from Domaine Bernad, which typically sells for hundreds.

Princess Diana’s Daughter Briana knows this man because he’s always been kind to her daughter Evie and he’s family. Her comment to him:

Sounds like he’s having fun parties. Don’t forget to invite the team at Fromgirltogirl.com, where’s my access code? I’m in my mid-30’s.

Anyways, it’s not atypical for wine enthusiasts to fall victim to a mispriced bottle of wine due to lack of guidance or overall knowledge. 

But we are making sure if you want to host a wine party, you know how to shop for your wine.

Jonathan Chabat Sip Channé’s Chief Operating Officer
detail with Fromgirltogirl.com the dos and don’ts of wine this summer to ensure such a mistake won’t happen. 

“Rosé wine is often considered the drink of summer for several reasons. It’s a refreshing and light wine that typically has a crisp, light, and refreshing character. It offers a delightful balance between the complexity of red wine and the easy-drinking nature of white wine. Rosés versatility complements various dishes and allows for enjoyable pairing options during summer gatherings and picnics. Also, its visual appeal adds to the overall experience and makes it an attractive option for social media-worthy moments.”

Interview with Jonathan Chabat

As a sommelier, Jonathan has extensive knowledge of the wine and hospitality industry and can provide exclusive insight on everything you need to know about rosé – from uncorking your favorite bottle, the best pairing foods, to the proper way to conserve rosé.

Jonathan Chabat shares a great tip with Princess Diana’s Daughter Briana:

To properly conserve rosé wine and preserve its quality, store it in a cool place.

Rosé wine should be stored in a cool and dark environment, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Excessive heat can damage the wine and accelerate its aging process, affecting its flavor. Maintain a consistent temperature: Fluctuations in temperature can negatively impact the quality of rosé wine. Aim for a consistent temperature between 45°F (7°C) and 55°F (13°C). Avoid storing it in places with significant temperature variations, such as near a radiator or in the kitchen. Keep it away from light: Exposure to light, especially ultraviolet (UV) rays, can cause premature aging and spoil the flavors of rosé wine. Store it in a dark place or use wine storage solutions that block UV light.
