Prim & Proper - Missouri Moscato, Weston Wine Company
This sparkling white wine reminds us of untamed because:
Glennon talks a lot about the expectations put on women to be perfect - perfect wives, perfect mothers, perfect women. It calls to mind being “Prim and Proper” at all times.
Even though this sparkling white wine seems like it’s “perfect,” you can still taste a little bit of the wild Missouri flavor that comes from grapes grown in our Wild West.
Delicate honeysuckle and citrus blossom notes bring nuance to what can often be mistaken for a simple wine. This Missouri Moscato is anything but boring.
riesling - mosel, germany
This semi-sweet white wine reminds us of untamed because:
It’s both sharp and sweet - kind of like Glennon giving us advice we don’t really want to hear, but we need to hear.
Rieslings can be beautiful “middle of the road” wines that toe the line between being too sweet and too dry. We prefer to think of it as being the “best of both worlds.”
From the Untamed, “The beauty industry convinces us that our thighs, frizz, skin, fingernails, lips, eyelashes, leg hair, and wrinkles are repulsive and must be covered and manipulated, so we learn to not trust the bodies we live in.” This gorgeous Riesling reminds us that sometimes a wine can just be good enough in the skin it’s in.
mulderbosch rose - south africa
This bold rose wine reminds us of untamed because:
The wild flavors of Cabernet Sauvignon come through beautifully, reminding us of when Glennon talks about the Cheetah in her first few stories.
This wine is made from bold red grapes that shed their skins to create a light pink wine from bright red pigments. It reminds us, that in the ways Glennon talks about, we can shed our skins and our inhibitions.
It has a fiery personality that can compete head to head with even the boldest, driest red wines.
It’s the perfect transition to Fall - a time for curling up with a good book and a bottle of wine!
