A Woman Who Knows Wine... Lives with Cats
Since we were little, we often heard a warning from parents, teachers, and bosses that was meant to be a condemnation: "If you keep going like this, you'll end up single, living with cats, and drinking a glass of wine every night, alone."... And they were right.
Because we were interested in a lot of things, because we asked uncomfortable questions, because we didn't stay silent and we didn't sit still until we got our way... for all that, we did indeed end up single—divorces and heartaches along the way—enjoying emotional independence, feline companionship, and wine culture.
Wines for every moment of independence
The life of a professional and prosperous woman is also celebrated in company. Wine acts as the common thread of our shared stories:
- Mimosas (Cava or Champagne): The sorority brunch. Perfect for sharing with sisters and close friends.
- Cariñena del Priorat: Empathy in desolation. A structured wine to accompany someone who needs to be heard.
- South African Syrah: Success and recognition. The ideal gift to celebrate a colleague's promotion or career achievement.
- Galician Albariño: Conquering one's own space. Freshness to celebrate the purchase of the four walls we now call home.
- Tempranillo: Chosen solitude. The faithful companion for nights of movies, reading, and personal reflection.
The pleasure of knowing about wines for and by oneself
Although the old saying warns that "A woman who knows Latin finds no husband and comes to no good end," we discovered that knowing about wines is a pleasure that stands on its own. It's not a tool to impress on a date, but an act of self-care and knowledge. If owning our destiny means not having a "good end," then welcome it!
