A Woman Who Knows Wine... Lives with Cats
Since we were little, we used to hear a warning from our parents, teachers, and bosses that was meant to be a judgment. They told us that a woman who knows wine is destined to live with cats.
They assured us that we would end up drinking a glass alone every night in the dark. And they were absolutely right.
We became interested in a lot of complex things. We asked uncomfortable questions at the least opportune moments, we didn't stay silent, and we didn't stop until we got our way.
Because of all that, we did, in fact, remain single, with divorces and heartbreaks along the way. Today, we fully enjoy our emotional independence, the pleasant feline companionship, and the vibrant wine culture.
"Knowing how to be alone is not the same as feeling lonely. Happiness is a lot like a purring cat and a glass of wine in your own home."
Wines for the Woman Who Knows Wine and Loves Her Independence
The life of a professional and prosperous woman is also celebrated in community. Wine acts as the perfect common thread for our shared stories:
- Mimosas (Cava or Champagne): The sorority brunch. Perfect for sharing reflections with sisters and very close friends.
- Cariñena del Priorat: Empathy in desolation. A structured red to closely accompany someone who truly needs to be heard.
- South African Syrah: Success and recognition. An ideal gift to celebrate a promotion or career achievement among colleagues.
- Galician Albariño: Conquest of one's own space. Brings freshness to celebrate the purchase of the four walls we now call home.
- Tempranillo: Chosen solitude. The faithful companion for long nights of cinema, deep reading, and healthy personal reflection.
The Pleasure of Learning About Grapes for Oneself
An old popular saying warns that a woman who knows Latin will not find a husband nor come to a good end. We discovered that studying viticulture is a pleasure in itself.
It's not a tool to impress anyone on a date. It's a legitimate act of self-care and intellectual knowledge.
If being absolute masters of our destiny means not having a traditional "good end," then we proudly respond: welcome it!
