E.L. James has singlehandedly sparked a sexual revolution
with her Fifty Shades of Grey series. The
books are hot, hot, hot! They continue
to dominate Best Seller lists, sending couples running out to stock up on S&M
gear and gray ties. (Who can blame them?) And Etsy is a buzz with 50 Shades
gear. (Bondage charms anyone?) Did you
know there’s even a Fifty Shades soundtrack out?
Yes, I too am crazy obsessed, waiting with baited breath to see
who will play Christian Grey and Miss Steele, and stalking the 50 Shades Facebook fan page conversations for the first hint of news. (Okay, so there may
not be a script yet, but could they settle on actors already?!)
The books have sparked book clubs, specialty vacations… what’s
next? Wine clubs? Hey, I’m game. There’s
quite a list of beverages in book series.
Mr. Grey spares no expense in the wining and dining department. My buddy and I decided to put together a convenient (and almost comprehensive) little list so you can host your own 50 Shades tasting. (I’m waiting on my
invitation!)
A Fifty Shades Tasting:
a Barossa Valley Shiraz
Alban Estate Grenache 2006
Alban Estate Rousanne 2006

Happy planning! If we missed any, let us know! Note that some of these are not that easy to find. Feel challenged?
