Dating drama with wine
Dear Wine Ladies,
Dating is stressful enough without having to feel like a wine connoisseur when the wine list arrives. In my late twenties and knowing very little about wine I often feel uncomfortable when it comes to ordering the wine. Should I try to bluff my way through and hope for the best or just fess up?

Let us introduce you to Yecla
Dear Wine Ladies,
I came across an article that included “Yecla” wines among a list of other wines, Napa Cabernets, classified Bordeaux, Burgundies and some Zinfandels as wines that are often included in auctions and are worth holding onto. Is Yecla a wine, a place or a style of wine? I am intrigued.

Wine and cheese, the classic pairing!
Dear Wine Ladies,
I am hosting a wine and cheese bridal shower for my daughter and am not very familiar with wine information. There will be approximately 40 women. I would like to serve a variety of wines but have no idea what kind of wines I should buy. Can you offer me some suggestions?
Icewine, drink it now or later?
Dear Wine Ladies,
At the icewine festival this weekend I tasted a delicious Vidal icewine which I learned was aged in oak. Is this typical? Are icewines ok to age or should they be consumed when young?
