**ChillaVino Wine Chiller Stick-Review**

*Wine Chiller Stick by ChillaVino

How cool is this?  I have been wanting one of these Wine Chiller Sticks ever since I saw it on Amazon because I thought it was such a cool idea so imagine my excitement when ChillaVino sent me one to review for them!  Yeah, I was just a little excited to say the least!

I really love it when you get a product that you have had your eye on for awhile and it fulfills all the expectations you had for it & more, it really is the best feeling.  The Wine Chiller Stick by ChillaVino has exceeded all my expectations, I just think it's the coolest product ever.  It also comes in this stylish, decorative box that you can use to keep the Wine Chiller Stick in when you are not using it.  

The Wine Chiller Stick is composed of 3 pieces, the chilling rod maintains the wine chilled, the decanting pourer aerates the wine for a full flavor taste and a dripless pour to avoid any mess and the stopper is used to cork the wine.  It works great for white, red & rose wines since it provides the right balance to create the optimal temperature and it brings those to life with the perfect chill.

The Wine Chiller Stick by ChillaVino is really a great product and I have really been enjoying it.  Plus, it a great conversation piece, everyone wants to know what it is, where I got it and how much it costs!  I am sure you, my readers, would like to know the same thing so here is all of that info...

You can purchase the ChillaVino Wine Chiller Stick on Amazon.com for only $14.50!  I also think this would make a great gift idea and I already have plans to get a few for upcoming birthday's & of course Christmas!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.  Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

**Summer Cocktails**

I came across these awesome Brocade Silver Martini Glasses from The Ivory Company and they inspired me to do a Summer Cocktail post!  While these gorgeous glasses are a little (ok, a lot!) pricey at $65 for four glasses, they are just so pretty!  I can easily picture myself sipping some yummy concoction out of one and I know just which yummy concoction I want to be sipping.  I have been a Cardamom kick lately, so of course I had to find a new Summer Cocktail that included my new favorite spice, Cardamom, and here it is...

Cardamom Pear Martini

Doesn't that sound A.MAZ.ING.?!  Here is the how you make it courtesy of Liquor.com...

• Quarter of a pear
• 1 Cardamom pod
• 2 oz Vodka (choose a higher end Vodka, you will Thank me in the a.m.)
• .33 oz Simple syrup (one part sugar, one part water)
• 1 dash Lemon bitters
• .5 oz Fresh lemon juice

In a shaker, muddle the Pear and Cardamom, add the remaining ingredients and fill with ice.  Shake, and double strain into glass and garnish with a Pear fan.

Enjoy, a glass of pure YUM!  I cannot wait to try it!  How about you?

Stack Wine-Why am I just now hearing about this?

These are just about the coolest thing I have seen in awhile!  You can check out their website here...Stack Wine to see if they sell it in your area.  Unfortunately, it's not sold any where near me so I signed their petition to try to get it in a store near where I live.  How awesome would these to take along for a hike, camping or for a picnic?  Below is their tag...  Have you tried Stack Wine yet?
