THE DEATH OF DETOX & DISCOVERY OF ROSEMOUNT BOTANICALS

Okay, so I broke detox.

Yes, I am disappointed. Yes, I genuinely thought I was going to make it!

But hey, let's not dwell on the negative, let's focus on the positive here! And there is a positive, believe it or not. I found the World's Best Wine. To help explain how this came about, read the transcript of my thought process below...

Scene: Rosemount Bar at Fashion Week - meeting friends before a show

Day: Monday 2 May

Time: Approx. 11am

My thought process: Ohhhhh I see Rosemount has a new wine range, Botanicals. Pity the Sav Blanc is only available in that Botanical flavour. If you don't want the Botanicals Sauv Blanc you can opt for non-Botanicals Chardonnay. Yuck. Anyway, I'm on detox, woo!

Scene: Rosemount Bar at Fashion Week - after client's show

Day: Tuesday 3 May

Time: Approx. 5pm

My thought process: Amazing show! Now, time to write a post show release while my photographer loads the pics onto a USB for me. Screw the media room, that place is a shit fight! Hmm... the Rosemount Bar! [Heads off to Rosemount Bar. Pulls up a chair and table in the corner. Enter sexy bartender offering wine.] Ohhhh why not? I've been working hard. It'll take the edge off and help me write quicker. Hmm, Chardonnay? Yuck. I'll try the Botanicals Sauv Blanc. Mmm, delish! Sip slowly Sara! A drip feed is all you're getting, you're on detox!

Scene: Rosemount Bar at Fashion Week - missed a show

Day: Wednesday 4 May

Time: Approx. 4pm

My thought process: Damn it! Since when does Fashion Week run on time? 

It IS the end of the day. I HAVE been working hard. Lie. I've been in client meetings and shows all day. RUBY wants to stay. SHE has been working hard. WE deserve a drink. [Heads off to Rosemount Bar. Finds bunch of friends.  Bondi boys. And Juzzy. Love her.] 

Definitely staying, definitely having a drink. All I can think about is that Sauv Blanc. MUST. FIND. BOTANICALS. SAUV. BLANC. [One. Two. Three later.] Time to head back to Bondi, shower and rug up. Or should I go to Burrito and Revolver with everyone? 

Hmm...

Hahaha I was never good with temptation. BUT! I didn't go out. Thankfully, because everyone who did is in a world of pain today. Not me! Nuh uh! Winning!

Anyway, back to the little wonder potion! I googled it, and here's what I found...

"The floral and tropical aromas of this Botanical Sauvignon Blanc are lifted by a delicate lemon sensation and balanced by the spicy herbal influence of elderflower. A light and refreshing style with generous flavour and balanced sweetness on the palate."

I stole that from the Dan Murphy's website where it costs around $15 a pop.

My translation...

Rosemount Botanicals Sauvignon Blanc infused with lemon and elderflower is ridic. You'll find yourself at the bottom of the bottle within the hour because it tastes like lemonade and goes down just as easy (I blame that on the elderflower). It's chic, modern day Passion Pop. West Coast Coolers eat your heart out.

Try it, and thank me later.
