I could tell you some stories about wine… 

 

I could tell you a lot of stories of good wine I’ve enjoyed, bad wines I’ve still enjoyed, and several mornings I regretted every part of enjoyment from the night before. #hangover

 

 

 Actually one of my favorite stories is one where I *may* have consumed more than my share of muscat on an empty stomach at an etiquette dinner I was hosting in college and proceeded to spend the next 48 hours rolled up next to the toilet. #classy

 

With a pounding headache, I vowed the morning, on the cold, vinyl floor of that one-bedroom, beat-down condo I would NEVER EVER EVER do that again. 

 

 

Thankfully, over the years, I’ve come to appreciate wine much more. I’ve invested in classes, read books, and done my homework. From trips to Napa, Temecula, and Texas Hill Country, I’ve been able to understand about how it’s grown, how it’s made, and even pick up the little nuisances between certain blends, varieties, etc. 

 

 

But even in all my Wine U education doesn’t mean I haven’t avoided some next-day aftermath. 

 

 

So this time when I headed to Texas Hill Country, recently called “The New or Next Napa” and the second most-visited wine region in the country, I took a new magic friend with me…The Wand™ by PureWine. 

Around three inches long and flat like a bookmark, The Wand absorbs the histamines and sulfite preservatives from your glass of wine just before you drink it, helping to alleviate the unfavorable reactions many wine lovers suffer from, like headaches, congestion and skin rashes. The process also rapidly aerates your wine, maximizing its full flavor potential.

 

So at each winery I visited I slid out my new friend and waved The Wand: 

 

 

 

Now of course you want to know – did it work? 

 

I had a really, really good time in Fredericksburg, but the only issues I had was being really tired from my lack of sleep the next day.   

 

…No redness, no hangover, and no Benadryl. 

So with the holidays around the corner and so many opportunities to appreciate wine, why would you risk the aftermath of what can happen the next morning when you have work, taking the kids to school, and so many other obligations – so put The Wand to work. 

 

Now if we can just learn how to make that pumpkin a Tesla…
