“Let the Music Move You” Winners!
"Let the Music Move You!" Winners are musician, Tom Goss, Washington DC, nominated by Alex Talon, San Francisco, CA. Both winners chose similar Amorosa Bella merchandise, luscious wine and pure soy massage candles, totaling greater than $200.
In his nomination, Alex describes discovering Tom’s music when a friend sent him a YouTube video recording of, "Till the End," a tender love song about finding someone to trust your heart with. The gentle melody hooked Alex and he downloaded everything one of Tom’s song he could find.
Recently, Tom toured 50 cities, traveling nearly 18,000 miles. Not having a large music label behind him, his touring life isn’t glamorous. Driving himself by car during the day and performing at night.
Alex attended his San Francisco concert. Tom’s concert drew out amazing local artists and openheartedly Tom shared his stage. Off stage, Tom is equally generous with his time, working at Charlie’s Place, an organization in Washington DC, dedicated to empowering the homeless community.
We offer Tom Goss a standing ovation for sharing both his gift of music and his tremendous talent for empowering and enriching the lives of others!

Christopher Greenwald, Amorosa Bella’s premier “Sensual Chef!” appearing in Savor magazine, spring & summer 2010 issue, lives in Petaluma, California that is about 40 minutes north of San Francisco.
Summer ripe berries shimmering sparkling wine are the perfect combination to tickle your fancy and make you blush! Here are two quick recipes that will "bubble you up!"
Mullbery Sangria
Simply take a few fresh raspberries, mulberries, or blackberries and put them in the bottom of a flute and fill with sparkling wine.
The aromas from the berries are sweet and the color is majestic as the little bubbles push the blush upwards.
However, If you are more adventuresome, here is a recipe I worked up using two of my favorite beverages, tequila and bubbly! It is a riff on the classic French 75 (named after a firearm). Mine is also named after a gun, the M-16 and, believe me, is very powerful. Play with this cocktail drink at your own risk…
M-16
½ shot Corzon Tequila Anejo½ lime (juice only)
Pinch of sugar
Fill with sparkling wine (try Amorosa Bella Sparkling Brut, of course!)
The Eat, Pray, Love-Languages Journey (Italy – India – Indonesia)
Romance beckons lovers of all ages to its magical language; no matter in what tongue one finds themselves’ speaking. And nothing evokes the language of love as much as traveling to the uber-romantic (above all else and the top best) destinations - Italy, India and Indonesia.
Italy –
When the moon hits the sky, like a big pizza pie Italy is pure romance and is waiting for you to discover the true meaning of “Amore”! Couples can become mesmerized within the beautiful historic cities of Milan, Florence, Naples, Venice, Siena and Rome; in addition to the gorgeous regions of Umbria, Tuscany and the Lakes along the Alps. Venture into the Italian countryside by bike, car or on foot and find yourself winding through olive trees and vineyards, visiting charming villages, wineries, castles, abbeys and churches. Experience the lovely Amalfi Coast with secluded tucked-away gems such as beautiful Positano (said to be one of Italy’s most romantic locations); or hydrofoil over to the most romantic island in the world, Capri and jump into its famous Blue Grotto together! Each of these beloved areas has a unique Italian flavor and their very own “love language” just waiting to be experienced! If you and your significant other enjoy strolling hand-in-hand, venturing into the arts, days filled with exploring Renaissance history, wine tasting in the Italian countryside and evenings filled with authentic Italian cuisine found in the genuine trattorias, cafes and pizzerias – then Italy is your love-language destination!
India –
Tranquil mountain hideaways, fairytale desert settings, relaxing beaches, exhilarating jungles, luxurious spa resorts, picturesque alluring mountains, exquisitely restored fortresses and lake palaces, and vibrantly-colored cities all express India’s language of love. One of the most remarkable and romantic sights in India, the magnificent monument of love itself, is that of the Taj Mahal (one of the Seven Wonders of the World), was and still is the most romantic expression of love in that Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan had it poignantly built out of love for his wife, who tragically died during childbirth. Her body is inside the monument, together now lying with that of the Emperor’s. Then there’s the hypnotic floral scents found within the Shalimar Gardens (“Shalimar” in Sanskrit means “Abode or Hall of Love”); the breathtaking city of Jaisalmer straight out of a romantic Arabian Nights fable; and Jaipur, also known as the Pink City located in the semi-desert lands of Rajasthan! If you can imagine waking up with your loved one each day to experience the exotic and alluring appeal of sights and tastes (fragrant coffees, teas and spices along with the distinctly spicy cuisine that the country is famous for) – then India is your love-language destination!
Indonesia –
Bali is known as a tropical paradise surrounded by coral reefs and sapphire blue water, and filled with volcanoes, pristine waterfalls, lush rain forests and rice terraces, verdant coffee plantations, palm-fringed beaches of black and white sand, gorgeous landscapes with views over the sea to Java, and an ancient people with a unique tribal culture practicing centuries-old rituals. Bali is filled with all the wonders for those seeking relaxation, soft-adventure and in-depth cultural touring. It is also famous for its artisans who produce a vast array of handicrafts, including batik and ikat clothing, wooden and stone carvings and silverware. Notably, Ubud is one of Bali’s jewels and is renowned for its art galleries, cafes, local boutiques and its traditional Balinese villages surrounded by lush rice fields and gentle-smiling people. If you and your significant other envision a destination filled with traditional culture, visiting rural villages, attending local ceremonies and festivals, river rafting, mountain biking, exploring local temples and royal palaces, and shopping in colorful markets – then Bali (and Indonesia’s Eden) is your love-language destination!

Amorosa Bella Chardonnay “ROCKS” at Lilith Fair!
What an exciting time, backstage during a large concert… Amorosa Bella Chardonnay took center stage on July 5th at Lilith Fair at the Shoreline Amphitheater. The Lilith Fair has an amazing history and reins as the top “Female Focused” live music show in the U.S.
It was an absolutely amazing day of performances by HEART, Colbie Caillet, The Bangles, Miranda Lambert and Sarah McLachlan to name just a few of the 11 acts. After their performance and encore, the musicians flocked to my table to reward themselves with glasses of Amorosa Bella Chardonnay, poured by Ziggy the Wine Gal.
Not only that, Ziggy had the Amorosa Bella candles set up on my wine tasting table and everyone went absolutely nuts for them! As a fun giveaway, she also had a Champagne bucket filled with the Amorosa Bella condoms!
Read more about Kristian Attard, bass player and Craig Bartock, guitar player for the band HEART have to say about Amorosa Bella wines; written exclusively on our special backstage blog by Ziggy the Wine Gal.
