Book Mail: A Roundup of the Book Mail I Received Last Week
“I think books are like people, in the sense that they’ll turn up in your life when you most need them.” — Emma Thompson

The 2022 Union Sacré Gewurzt Orange Gewurztraminer is a stunning tribute to the artistry of winemaking, blending tradition with innovation. Its beautiful orange hue, achieved through 40 days of skin contact, is as captivating as its complex and aromatic profile. The nose is a fragrant bouquet of lychee, rose petal, and Turkish delight, with tropical fruit notes adding to its allure. On the palate, this wine is full and luscious, showcasing ripe mango, peach, and apricot, balanced with intriguing hints of ginger and cinnamon spice. With its low acidity and smooth texture, this Gewurztraminer offers a unique and delightful experience, perfect for those seeking a wine that challenges expectations while remaining deliciously approachable.
What I Wore:
Similar Sweater | Jeans | Similar Hoop Earrings | Makeup
Wearing her favorite old sweater with a timeless black-and-white pattern, she feels an instant sense of comfort and nostalgia. Paired with wide-legged jeans, the look blends cozy with a touch of effortless chic, while her gold hoop earrings add a subtle hint of elegance. As she takes a sip of crisp white wine, the refreshing taste matches the simple pleasure of her outfit. It’s a quiet, reflective moment, yet it makes her feel like the main character in her own life—unrushed, authentic, and perfectly at ease with the beauty of the present.
