Yesterday I happened upon this gorgeous wine at Salumeria, where the gent explained I could only order it by the glass as it's not actually released yet. I don't know much about the Corvina grape, but I know this one grew in Lodi, tastes fantastic chilled and I want it every damn day of summer. I wasted no time facebooking Harrington and telling them of my newfound ardor for this wine. They were kind enough to break their release rules and offer to sell me a case. Win Win, Cin Cin!
Brands I Love: Marvis
I have long admired the gorgeous packaging of this premium toothpaste brand despite never having tried it. For some reason, I imagined the taste wouldn't live up to the aesthetic. How wrong I was.
On a recent trip to Portland, I purchased a quirky toothpaste tube roller as one is wont to do in a beautifully curated showroom like Canoe. Anyway, when I bought it, I knew it demanded an equally handsome tube of paste. At last, a reason to buy The Prettiest Paste of all time.
For reasons unknown to me still, I went out on a limb and went straight in for the most exotic flavor: Jasmine Mint. And may I say, it is the most fragrant, floral delight, while still imparting a clean minty flavor with no antiseptic sting.
Thank you Marvis. I love you even more now, despite the fact that your name was stolen from one of my mother's friends in the '70s.
The Brand Blog
I've been recommending Squarespace to clients for a while now, touting its ease and affordability. It occurred to me that as long as I'm out evangelizing a product or service, I should probably use it myself. I built this site in an hour, and I can't speak highly enough about the user experience and thoughtful design, not to mention the affordability.
And since the template includes a blog, I'll use this forum as a place to highlight other brands I love.
