Happy Hour: Sipping the Last of Summer

**Editor’s Note: Before we start, I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who purchased an item for the World Relief kitchen kits.  We have enough goods to put together eight kits, which is incredible.  I may do more kits in the future, but I’d like to focus on getting these eight put together and delivered.  You guys are amazing!  I’ll add $50 grocery gift cards to the kits at World Relief’s request, so they should be all set for the new arrivals.**

I don’t drink much wine.  It’s just not my thing.  But this summer, I bought a few bottles of rose in anticipation of having friends over in a post-pandemic world.  We just never really got there.  So now I have all of this rose that I have to drink … what a shame.

This Mulderbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Rose is a South African wine made with grapes specifically grown and harvested to make rose.  It’s bright and fresh, not too sweet.  It’s the only light rose that I really enjoy drinking.  If you like rose, but don’t want to drink pale wines in winter, check out darker rose’s.

We need to talk about Banana Republic.  Their late summer drop was amazing, and now their fall drop is even better.

This trench coat is incredible.  I bought it immediately, retiring another trench that I was just “meh” about.  The material is heavier than their last trench, the belt is wider and thicker, and the garnet felt under the collar, amazing.  Also, there is a reason this double-breasted blazer is selling out fast.  It’s that good.

So if you’re feeling you want to spruce up your fall wardrobe, some of the pieces at BR are just the ticket.  They have a modern feel but are classic enough to wear them for years.
