Ladies With Bottle
http://ladies-with-bottle.blogspot.com
Ladies with Bottle is a blog dedicated to women who, like me, enjoy a glass of wine or two! We choose it in the supermarket to serve with dinner; we order it in restaurants and bars. We chat over it, cook with it, give it as gifts and unwind with it. Ladies With Bottle covers wine on the catwalk, celebrities, recipes, news and romance.
