Happy National Wine Day!!!

Today we have a guest featured post! My best friend, Mara Frey, who I might add turns 27 this weekend (happy birthday!) conducted a tasting for us all to enjoy!

The best part of modern wines is that it’s ok to pick based on the label, and that is exactly what I did when I found Prophecy. I’m currently into finding my “Inner Goddess” (as are all female millennials) and so of course as I am staring at the refrigerated wines in my local liquor store I am drawn to a beautiful pink rosé named Goddess of Fortune. The sweet delicate label and the thrifty price had me sold. I can tell you that the bottle did not last more than a night and this tasting was done with my second purchase of this sweet delicate delight. I hope you can take time to find your own Prophecy and enjoy!
