Things We Love

It’s no secret that pineapples are an irresistibly juicy tropical treat, dripping with a tantalizingly sweet flavor. Yet pineapples are more than just a delectable forbidden fruit — in fact, they’ve come to symbolize all sorts of exciting things throughout history.

In the south, for example, pineapples are a symbol of hospitality and are often used to decorate homes as a sign of welcome. During colonial times, the pineapple’s rarity made it a luxury item coveted by royalty and perceived as a status symbol.

Today, if you go to a party alone while sporting a fashion accessory or article of clothing with a Pineapple-print, some say it means you’re letting people know that although you’re in a relationship, it’s “complicated” — meaning you’re still open to meeting new people.

We say whether you’re hosting a soirée or going to one, you should always have Ménage à Trois Gold Chardonnay on hand. After all, nothing welcomes guests quite like the wealthy flavors and irresistible fragrance of crème brûlée, honeyed pineapple, and exotic floral notes rising from the glass, hinting at delights to come.
