Saint Louis Cellars has just introduced a new line of fun and unique wine accessories to accompany any bottle of wine.

3-lolita-glasses-70percent.jpg
Lolita Wine Glasses ($19.99 each) – These 15 oz. wine glasses are hand painted and feature a recipe for a wine cocktail on the bottom of the glass. Each glass comes individually gift boxed in Lolita’s signature style. (Glasses featured: “Loves Me, Loves Me Not”, “Bikini”, “Shopaholic”)

Wine Lines ($6.99 for pack of 12) – Can’t find your chianti? Misplaced your merlot? Don’t fret. Wine Lines are here to save the soiree! These soft, flexible, stretchable, washable, synthetic rubber are easy to slip onto a wine glass and they are unobtrusive once in place. These I.D. tags for your stemware fit easily in your pocket or purse so you can bring them to a party and share with your friends. Which one will you claim as your own?

ice-kabobs.jpg
Ice Kabobs ($8.99) – What do you do when you have just a little bit of wine left at the bottom of the bottle, but you don’t want to throw away that perfectly good wine? The answer: Ice Kabobs! Just pour your leftover wine into the molds and pop them into the freezer. The next day, you will have one-of-a-kind ice cubes that double as handy swizzle sticks. Popsicles for adults–brilliant!

Love at First Sip

January 28, 2008 · Comments Off

Fetish, Red Blend, Barossa Valley, Australia  ($19.99) - This red blend from Australia reveals a deep ruby/purple hue along with oaky aromas intermixed with notions of blackberries, cherries and licorice.  Try this selection with meat dishes, robust vegetarian dishes, mushroom dishes, or just enjoy on its own.  Robert Parker 92 points.

Hall, Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley, California  ($19.99) - This wine was featured in Sauce Magazine as one of the three wines you should drink right now. Ruby red grapefruit leaps from the glass and continues through the lengthy palate. It is framed by a lively acidity that delivers a clean, crisp rise in the mid-palate. This should be the centerpiece of any romantic Valentine’s Day date. Wine Enthusiast 90 points.

 *As featured in St. Louis Magazine

Cusumano, Nero d’Avola, Sicily, Italy  ($14.99) - Lovely nose of crushed rose petals and sweet cherries. Flavors are full-bodied, with lovely fruit, fine tannins and a long, flavorful finish.  Pair this selection with any of your Italian meals, especially spaghetti with tomato and meat sauce. Wine Spectator 85 points.

Heating Things Up for Valentine’s Day

January 18, 2008 · Comments Off

GENTLEMAN: Thursday, Febrauary 14 is Valentine’s Day, and Saint Louis Cellars has everything you need for the special day.  Check out some of our Valentine’s Day recommendations:

una-rosa.jpg

Una Rosa, Nero d’Avola, Sicily, Italy ($18.99)  -  Ripe, dark cherry and plum fruit in the mouth and soft oak overtones with a velvety texture describe this wine. The fruit has a supple sweetness and distinct character with a spicy, lasting finish. It pairs well with pasta with meat sauces, roast and grilled beef, game and hard cheeses.

 quady-elysium.jpg

Quady Elysium, 375ml Black Muscat, California ($17.99)  -  The provative rose and litchi aromas resonate from this Black Muscat grape variety. Elysium is used to either accompany or replace dessert. It is wonderful with blue cheeses, with desserts containing red fruits (such as Summer Pudding, an English favorite), with vanilla, with dark chocolate, with ice cream desserts, and candlelight. Try pouring this wine onto vanilla ice cream.

heart-stopper.jpg 

Heart Stoppers  ($6.99)  -  This glass bottle topper is the perfect accessory to help savor your Valentine’s Day wine.  It is a great gift as well as a fantastic way to top your bottles all year round.
