Post #15 – Blo ‘n’ go + Wine = Awesomeness! (By Angela Aiello)

Wednesday June 16th was a fantastic night out on on the town for a few iYellow girls. Not only was it a beautiful Summer’s night in downtown Toronto but it was also the launch of a new label and new varietal wines by Piat D’Or.  So at 5pm Tallyia, Laura and I hit the town to celebrate Summer with a couple wine events and maybe a few more glasses than we needed – and thankfully the TTC took us around town safely.

We arrived at Blo hair bar (blogmedry.com) on King Street West a little after 5pm. The word on the street was if we got to the launch party early enough we would all be able to get our hair done and drink at the same time – BONUS! If you know me (or any girl for that matter) you know we can always use a hair appointment and a glass of wine to pair with it. As we got our hair did by the super staff at Blo we were able to taste the new Piat D’Or Chardonnay and Merlot. This label was once about blends (so is/was most of French wine), however, Piat D’Or is now moving forward with more varietal based wines. The Chardonnay and the Merlot paired well with the hair service and the passed appy’s were a great perk too. The twist top makes it an easy wine to serve friends (no fancy corkscrews are necessary) and they were both easy drinking. While we sipped our French wine Laura and I reminisced about our time in France which was just a few weeks earlier…we both had such a great time  in France that any French wine would help to bring back amazing memories and make us smile! So overall Wednesday night at Blow with Piat D’Or was filled with good wine, good friends and good hair and made for a great start to a Wednesday evening. Pair this wine with great company and a summer BBQ. After some wine and a blo we were off to event #2 – event post coming soon!
