Get Out of Your Comfort Zone with Fifty Shades of Grey Wine

Stub of Cork Envy believes, "You should never be afraid to try something new every now and again... Hell, you just might find out you like it." Here he goes balls to the wall, so to speak, with his review of Fifty Shades of Grey White Silk and Red Satin in what has to be our favorite wine review of the year!

Yearning for More

"White Silk catches and holds your attention," he said, "[it] has a sweet perfume nose with notes of pineapple and honey. It's tempting yet subtle enough that it doesn't overpower, but bold enough to make you want it bad—real bad."

Red Satin's flavors of, "jammy dark fruits...leaves me yearning for more. Like in an, 'I can take all you've got and more' kind of way."

Cork Envy's conclusion? "... don't be afraid to let go a bit, and try something new yourself this Valentine's Day." Now, that's advice our inner goddess can toast to.

'Fifty Shades of Grey'-Inspired Wine Pleasantly Surprises

"Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge," Argus Leader wine reviewer, Heather Boysen, is "pleasantly surprised by" Fifty Shades of Grey Wine. 

"With a little research I found that author E.L. James is not only a wine aficionado but also participated in the blending of the wines herself with Tim Thornhill owner of the Mendocino Wine Company and winemaker Mark Beaman, " Boysen says, continuing, ".... One might ask if she considers wine her guilty pleasure much like many of her readers consider her books?"

Crafted with longevity in mind

Boysen describes the Fifty Shades of Grey White Silk as, "an easy drinking medium sweet white that would be great with Asian or spicy food but is just fine on its own," and the Fifty Shades of Grey Red Satin as a wine with "a lot going on." If you are one of the few who haven't read the Fifty Shades of Grey books yet, Boysen recommends pairing Fifty Shades of Grey Wine with your experience of the best-selling series, "I believe [Fifty Shades of Grey Wines] were crafted with longevity."

"Wine plays an important role in Fifty Shades of Grey, adding to the sensuality that pervades a number of scenes," said E L James. "I've always had a penchant for good wine, so combining two of my passions to blend Red Satin and White Silk was a natural extension of the series. I hope my readers curl up with a glass as they enjoy the romance between Anastasia and Christian."

The Fifty Shades of Grey Red Satin is a decadent red blend of Petite Sirah and Syrah with flavors of black cherry, cocoa powder, creamy caramel and vanilla, leather and clove spice.
