By being intentional with your home, you’re creating a deeper level of entertainment and connection.

Wouldn’t it be fun to try out that TikTok recipe, and wow your guests with a fun new drink concoction? It’s all possible and attainable. It can be intimidating when you see elegant setups in magazines, but it shouldn’t be. For every home bar, it is entirely up to you on what you want to include. You can start small and grow your collection.

Start out small and build your collection with a blend of red and white wines. Keep your eye out for Malbec, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. When it comes to wine, it may be best to start with what food you’ll be cooking.    Different wines enhance different flavors in your food. For example, if you’re looking to host parties with roasted chicken, add a rose or dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc. Pinot Noir can also enhance your meal. If you prefer steak, Cabernet or Syrah could be better choices. Begin with the experience you have in mind and go from there. Your collection will naturally grow from there.   Find all the perfect wine pairing suggestions on our favorite search engine: Pinterest!   Our Wine Picks   Clean and Crisp Chardonnay -  Brown Estate House Of Brown Chardonnay The Vibrant Red Blend - Brown Estate Chaos Theory Red   Last but not least, if you’re looking for an alcohol free home bar, we suggest you read our blog from earlier in the year Trending: Non-Alcoholic Drinks all about non-alcoholic beverages and all the options available in that arena.     The Essential Tools:  Dwell by CM has beautiful items to come alongside and add a splash of refinement to your home bar.   Cocktail Shaker | Gold Our gold cocktail shaker is the perfect addition to any home bar!
