Relaxing with a glass of wine just got a little better - Trudeau wine accessories, review

I admit it. I like wine. Red, white, fruity or robust, a glass of wine can make a bad day seem just a little better. I'm not saying that anyone should drink away her sorrows. For me, a glass of wine can be a relaxing moment (or two) for myself.

The biggest frustration that I face with my glass of wine is opening the bottle. From removing the foil to successfully releasing the cork, the fight to pour my libation can be frustrating. Luckily a company has come to solve my program, Trudeau.

Trudeau offers numerous wine and bar related products that make enjoying a beverage a little more fun. From wine charms to cocktail chillers, these items will make your next evening at home or entertaining friends more festive.

Since I enjoy wine, there are two Trudeau items that have become my must haves, the Stress Less Automatic Lever Corkscrew with Foil Cutter and the Aroma Aerating Wine Pourer.

First, the Stress Less Automatic Lever Corkscrew with Foil Cutter is the simplest way to open a bottle of wine. I have struggled to open a bottle with a traditional corkscrew. The biggest problem is that I struggle to remove the cork. I'm not a weakling, but it doesn't take giant biceps to pull out a cork. With the Stress Less Automatic Lever Corkscrew with Foil Cutter, I have my wine opened with absolutely no effort.

Here are the features of the Stress Less Automatic Lever Corkscrew with Foil Cutter
(retail price $89.99)

• Chrome and Black Finish
• Innovative design allows left or right handers to hold bottle steady
• Fast two-step cork removal
• Clear window to see cork pull and release
• Tempered Steel sharp-edged spiral is triple coated for effortless cork removal
• Firmer grip; less effort required
• Foil cutter magnetic base auto-clips to corkscrew for storage
• Space-saving design
• Laboratory tested for performance
• 10 year warranty

 I know that I will never again struggle to open a bottle of wine. 

Now that my wine is open, I want my glass to taste amazing. Aerating wine is important for the wine to have the best possible taste. Wine that is allowed to breathe tastes better by enhancing the flavors and aromas.The problem that I have with most aerators is that I have to hold the aerator as I pour the wine. I don't want to mention how many times I have split wine because of my carelessness.  The  Aroma Aerating Wine Pourer fits onto the wine bottle for easy decanting. The one hand operation eliminates the potential spilling problem. The Trudeau Aroma Aerating Pourer provides a double aeration process allowing wine to be aerated while it's inside the bottle, as well as during pouring.

Here are some of the features of the Aroma Aerating Wine Pourer
(with or without stand, retails $24.99 or $29.99 with stand) 

• Decanting by the glass made easy
• Fits onto your bottle for a one-hand operation
• Features an air intake system to aerate as you pour
• Improves bouquet and flavor of the wine as you pour by injecting air directly into the wine
• Instantly adds the same amount of air as 30 minutes in a traditional decanter
• Easy to clean
• Dishwasher safe
• 5 year warranty

The Stress Less Automatic Lever Corkscrew with Foil Cutter and the Aroma Aerating Wine Pourer would make a great Mother's day gift. Pair these items with mom's favorite bottle of pinor noir and you have a gift that will make her smile.

Sassy Caddy, fashionable, functional and fabulous, Mother's Day event sponsor

Sassy Caddy is a full of bags for the active lady. From golf bags and covers to tennis bags and fitness bags, each bag is made from ultra-high quality weather proof and fade resistant materials.

In my house, I am surrounded by men and their sports. I love sports and participate in many activities, but I don't want to be one of the guys. I want to feel and look feminine when I'm playing.

What I love about Sassy Caddy is that their bags are very feminine. My bag will never be mistaken for my husband's bag. Most importantly these bags are stylish and fashion forward.




I've been using my gym bag almost every day. One of my favorite items about this bag is the shoe compartments. I participate in spin classes so I'm bringing multiple pairs of shoes to the gym. The dividers keep my spin shoes separate and I don't worry about the clips snagging my other clothes.

The Sassy Caddy gym can be double as an overnight bag. It's big enough to carry all your items for a weekend getaway. With the various compartments, there is a place for everything without having a big jumbled mess.

Here's some details about the bag

• Magnetic flap closure
• Dimensions 23 inches length, width 12 inches, height 16 inches
• Two large external straps
• Vinyl pockets protect dry clothes from wet ones

Bag retails for $149
