3 Reasons to Ditch Your Typical Date Night and Stay In with Chloe Wine Collection

I’m becoming quite the wine aficionado and I have a feeling Patrick’s family of wine enthusiasts are proud of my transformation over the years. In all seriousness – as you try more and more wine, it becomes obvious what your palette is drawn to and it becomes easier to decipher a really great wine from a lower quality one. I used to only drink white wines; however in the last year this has vastly changed. I am becoming so much more appreciative of a full-bodied wine with structure and depth. The Chloe Cabernet Sauvignon is one that I didn’t expect to love as much as I do. It has robust tannins from being aged in French and American Oak for 14 months, which is typically a trait I don’t particularily love, but it takes this specific Cab to the next level. It is bold with velvety flavors of dark cherry, plum and dark chocolate, with notes of roasted coffee and cinnamon bark. I’ve mentioned this before, but I also love Chloe Wine Collection so much because it is developed by a woman. You can tell by the elegant bottle and the portfolio of super premium wines that so much thought and precision goes into every single varietal. Acclaimed Winemaker Georgetta Dane offers an elegant and alluring wine experience with Chloe Wine Collection, which is created for sophisticated wine enthusiasts who appreciate all things extraordinary and timeless. There isn’t a person I have shared the Chloe Cabernet Sauvignon with that didn’t absolutely love it! It is so good that you may just ditch your dinner reservations and opt for a relaxing night in with Chloe Wine Collection.

The structured, sweetheart bodice is covered with ornate lace overlay and shimmering beaded embellishments. The textured lace detail continues onto the chapel skirt and an overlay of contrasting fabric creates a flattering a-line silhouette. This dress would make anyone feel like they’re in a real life fairytale. Read More
