Seduction Wine available at seductionwine.com and at retailers near you.

The Drink

Let's talk libations. Our favorites:

• Seduction Wine - a vintage developed for a woman's palette, it has a silky texture, velvet-soft tannins, lingering and luscious bold ripe fruit flavors, and a sexy earthiness that carries through the long, warm finish.
  
• Don't get trapped in the kitchen shaking cosmos. Iinstead pick-up a few packs of Cocktails by Jenn. These colorful four-packs of chill-and-serve premium vodka drinks. Choose from Cosmopolitans, Lemon Drops, Tropical Blue Lagoons, Appletini and the new limited edition Key West Lime. Unfortunately it's illegal to sell spirits over the internet so you have to purchase at a retailer near you.
  
• Designated drivers and other non-drinkers deserve a better drink than club soda with a twist. Stock the cooler with Izze sodas in taste bud tantalizing flavors like blueberry, clementine and pear.

Izze is available at amazon.com or find a retailer near you at izze.com.

Conversation Pieces

• Everyone will be all a buzz when you spike their cocktail with an illuminated drinking straw. Glow Straws are an inexpensive way to liven up any party.
  
• Keep your guests guessing with a peanut butter tasting. PB Loco produces gourmet peanut butters in wild flavors like Raspberry White Chocolate, Jungle Banana, and Sumatra Cinnamon Raisin, Asian Curry Spice and Sun-Dried Tomato.
  
• The Convivium Cooking game is a board game that results in a meal. Dinner party guests answer trivia (What was Jennifer Beal eating in the restaurant scene from the movie "Flash Dance?"), create toasts and play name-that-tune to reach the finish line. Guests will be assigned cooking jobs to help create a three course meal. The game includes invitations, recipe cards, ingredients and equipment lists, and a step-by-step guide.
